Comet 67P would be a planet killer… an E.L.E. if it hit Earth.
The world’s scientists are watching it closely!
The comet was discovered by the Russians. The European space Agency landed a rover on it named Philae and Rosetta.

How Philae got its name

Philae is an Egyptian obelisk currently on display in Dorset, England.

Along with the Egyptian Rosetta Stone, the Philae Obelisk was the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics which are written in a type of cipher code.

Churyumov–Gerasimenko (named for founders of the comet) was the destination of the Rosetta mission, launched in 2004, which rendezvoused with it in 2014 and was the first mission to land a space probe on a comet.
The ALICE spectrograph on Rosetta determined that electrons produced from photoionization of water molecules by solar radiation, and not photons from the Sun, are responsible for the degradation of water and carbon dioxide molecules released from the comet nucleus into its coma.
Comet 67P crossed the celestial equator on 5 May 2015 and became easiest to see from the Northern Hemisphere.

Astrobiologists Chandra Wickramasinghe and Max Wallis stated that some of the physical features detected on the comet's surface by Rosetta and Philae, such as its organic-rich crust, could be explained by the presence of extraterrestrial microorganisms.
Rosetta program scientists dismissed the claim as "pure speculation". Carbon-rich compounds are common in the Solar System. Neither Rosetta nor Philae is equipped to search for direct evidence of organisms.
One of the most outstanding discoveries of the mission so far is the detection of large amounts of free molecular PRIMORDIAL oxygen (O-2) gas surrounding the comet.
How did they discover this on 7/3/18 if comms went down back in 2016?
NASA is proposing the CAESAR to soon explore this comet and bring back samples. Will this be part of the #SpaceForce mission? Will life outside Earth be found in those samples?
