This is pretty awesome

So - the Rosetta spacecraft - the one that's been in hibernation in deep space until they woke it up in June for a special mission.

 

Here's the Graundian page - with the background info

But then there's a link to give an interactive simple explantion with circles and blobs

But then there's another link which shows how it's all happening and it's all very Star Trekish (that's the original Star Trek, way back when .....)

I hope the beautiful dance goes according to the choreography.
