Here's a short video of Rosetta - the story of a space satellite traveling to unknown lands. She's been on her voyage for nearly a decade, and her lander Philae, is headed to a mysterious destination called Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It is real.

Launched in 2004, it will be the first man-made object to land on a comet. Rosetta has been hibernating as it makes its way toward an August 2014 landing on 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The ESA will wake Rosetta up on January 20th where it will begin to prepare for the comet landing.

The story on its own is super fascinating. It doesn't really need this short. But with it, it makes her story even more romantic. Check it out below:
