Philae is ~ 1 metre across; it would span a maximum of ~ 1 pixel in that image at native resolution. I'm aware about that. "Sherbert" wrote, that maybe the lander looks bigger, because it reflects much more light than the surrounding comet material. So I found this image with this white spot, which is at least near the point, Sherbert has maked. It is nothing serious. |

This one is where I got carried away, working on the assumption that Philae's albedo is way higher than the surrounding comet and so she should appear a lot bigger than she actually is. If the position you suggest is right, and if the brigthness helps to identify, then philae might be the little white spot in this image: 2,4m/px (http://dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10726/#gallery/18459) But I dont believe in it myself. |

The lander will be 3 pixels across in that image. Yes i expected this kind of answer, and i thought that thing there is to big. On the other hand i compared the size of this stones, which are placed on that flat area. These stones on the flat on this picture http://imgur.com/9ICqv4p look at least twice as big as on this picture which is next to the picture from esa: http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/20...cross_the_comet If Philae is 4 pixel in the last picture, it migth be perhaps 8 pixel in the pixel I posted first. Ok, i agree it probable is the top of a rock, but philae must be bigger than 3 pixels |

Hey, i'm new here. i also started seaching on the pictures provided by esa. I tried to extrapolat the direction of the probe. http://imgur.com/DHCFgpe It looks very much like the missing probe to me, however the position is far of the position marked by esa. It would be interesting to know when the shoot of this photo was made. If it was made while rosetta should observe the lander, it seems the probe was still flying. |
