Hello, old friend ... Philae found!

Philae: Lost comet lander is found

The little robot is visible in new images downloaded from the Rosetta probe in orbit around the icy dirt-ball 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.  European Space Agency (Esa) officials say there is no doubt about the identification - "it's as clear as day", one told the BBC.
