Paris (AFP) - Cameras onboard Europe's comet orbiter Rosetta have spotted the tiny lander Philae for the first time since its crash-landing in November 2014, the European Space Agency said on Monday.

"Less than a month before the end of the mission, Rosetta's high-resolution camera has revealed the Philae lander wedged into a dark crack on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko," it said in a statement.

Fossils fuels in the last century reached their extreme prices because of their inherent utility: they pack a great deal of potential energy into an extremely efficient package. If we can but sidestep the 100-million-year production process, we can corner this market once again.
