The Duck!

Of course, it's not really called that. This is comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the target of the Rosetta mission and the resting place of the 'sleeping' Philae lander. Poor Philae did a sort of triple jump as it landed and is not getting the light it needs to recharge its batteries. The scientists and engineers of this epic mission hope that they will be able to resume communication as the comet approaches closer to the sun.
