The list of 5 points can be answered on comets

The European Aeronautics Agency (ESA) has made a list of 5 possible answers for the first landing plan on the surface of a comet.

Three possible points lie in the smaller part of the comet, called the 'duck head', and the two points are in the larger part, called the 'duck body' - (Photo: ESA)

Astronomers are examining high-resolution images of comets 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko sent by Rosetta.

Based on the collected information, ESA selected five locations that could meet the Philae expedition vessel , intended to be deployed in mid-November.

Among these, experts will choose a final point, and a backup point, according to Space.com.

The landing position must meet the conditions such as flat terrain, no obstacles, stable surface, as well as maintaining a safe amount of light from the sun to charge the Philae ship without the situation. too hot.

Another important thing is how to choose the location that can exploit the scientific 'treasure' of comets, thereby opening the gate to trace back to the first time of the solar system.
