Philae comet lander: The plucky robot is back
By Jonathan Amos BBC Science Correspondent

If the fridge-sized robot would have landed on a flat surface, as had been intended, the sun soon would have roasted it in a short time. Now, that the robot is behind a wall, securing it from the heat radiation by the sun, the robot will survive and reach perihelion, where much more interesting data might be possible.

Advantage Philae.
