Mission scientists have chosen a landing spot for Philae, a small probe that's scheduled to land on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko on November 12. Marked by a cross on this image, it features a relatively smooth surface, which provides a safe landing spot. The probe will fire a harpoon into the comet to prevent it from drifting away, then will study the comet's surface and sub-surface. [ESA/Rosetta]
