Philae Spacecraft Landed 3 Times on Speeding Comet: See Its First Photos
Amazing and awesome. Gives me Goosebumps just to comprehend what this is all about.
Think of it. Years in planning and design (it was approved by ESA in 1993). 10 years in transit (Rosetta was launched in 2004). A bullet is sent to catch a bullet. l Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is very small (about 4 kilometers in diameter) and is travelling at a speed of 135,000 kilometers per hour. It is at 673 million kilometers from the Sun.

An Uplifting Musical Surprise for Dave Brubeck in Moscow (1997)
From Open Culture:
Ten years after his first visit to Moscow, jazz legend Dave Brubeck returned to perform before the faculty and students of the Moscow Conservatory. During his concert, an audience member asked him to improvise on the old Russian sea shanty “Ej, Uhnem.” About two minutes into the improvisation, a young violinist rose from his seat and started to play along. You just have to love Dave’s surprised look at 2:09.
