ROSETTA  COMET: The European Space Agency's Rosetta probe has reached  
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and is maneuvering to go into orbit around the comet's 
 core. This is an historic event. After Rosetta goes into orbit, it will 
follow  the comet around the sun, observing its activity from point-blank 
range.  Moreover, in November, Rosetta will drop a lander onto the comet's 
strange  surface. Check http://spaceweather.com  for more information and links 
to a live webcast of today's  rendezvous.
