On Friday, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft will descend to the surface of the comet it has been orbiting since 2014, coming to its final resting place as its mission ends.*
Rosetta left Earth in 2004 with the Philae lander nestled within it. The two spacecraft got to Comet 67P about 10 years later, with Philae touching down on the strange-looking small object in **vember 2014. While Philae's mission didn't last long (http://mashable.com/2016/09/05/philae-lander-finally-found/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=), Rosetta has spent a scientifically productive life orbiting Comet 67P and gathering data about the boulder-strewn world for years.*
