Rosetta space craft has successfully today landed on a Comet.....

Humanity has landed on a comet for the first time.

After a ten year, billion-euro mission that took the Rosetta space craft on a journey of more than 6.4 billion kilometers, the European Space Agency successfully landed on Comet 67P - a 2.5 mile-wide lump of ice and dust hurtling through space at around 40,000mph.

The ESA team is still evaluating how the Philae lander is operating after the 14-mile descent, but they are hopeful that the mission went as planned.
