Are you ready for an early #Halloween story? Turn on your pumpkin lanterns, because the ghosts of our spacecraft past have a story to tell… 💀🛰👻🎃🤖☄️🕯 #RosettaLegacy #TrickOrTreat #MysteryStory
After years of detective work by #Rosetta & #Philae teams, the lander’s “missing” second touchdown site has been identified on #comet #67P, in a location that resembles the shape of a skull! 🔎💀😮 #RosettaLegacy

Philae left its imprint in billions-of-years-old ice, revealing that the comet’s icy interior is softer than #cappuccino froth or the foam in a bubble bath or on top of waves at the seashore ☕️🛁🌊#RosettaLegacy (photo courtesy @AstroEmz) 
#OTD in 2005, @esa's Huygens probe descended to the surface of Titan as part of the @CassiniSaturn mission.
I wasn't working for ESA at the time, but happily took part in an inadvertent experiment in public engagement that took place that day.

@esa @CassiniSaturn IIRC, as imaging data arrived back from Saturn, they were transferred from @esaoperations to the DISR camera team at @uarizona via ftp.
The ftp account was public & unpassworded, & details of its existence leaked on to the internet.

@esa @CassiniSaturn @esaoperations @uarizona Like many, I went on to the ftp account & downloaded images as they arrived. They were raw & uncalibrated as below, & Huygens was spinning, so it wasn't clear (at least to my untrained eye) that they were showing valleys, channels, & flood plains.

I am really honoured and I want to tell my story as it relates to space journalism. It all started in 2012 with my obsession with bi-lobed comets and how I thought they came about. Especially in regards to comet 103P Hartley 2 pictured right.
My obsession shifted to the Flagship class mission #Rosetta going to #67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. I was led to the Rosetta Blog,
blogs.esa.int/rosetta/
where many theories came up in the blog comment threads - Especially comments from @scute1133 regarding "stretch theory"
