Reader Coel called my attention to a picture (I won’t give the URL, as it also has the answer) showing the Philae lander resting on the comet Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The picture was taken by the parent Rosetta spacecraft just three days ago as it came within 3 km of the comet surface.
Can you spot the lander? I would rate this one HARD! I’ll post the answer at noon. Click twice (with a break between the clicks) to make the photo big.
If you spotted it, you can tout your success in the comments, but PLEASE DO NOT GIVE AWAY THE LOCATION IN THE COMMENTS.
I reckon it is about ANSWER REDACTED BY JAC TO KEEP THE GUESSES COMING
Very hard and I’m not sure… due to the low resolution of course.
But I think it is REDACTED BY JAC AGAIN! My guess is there!
But I am really not certain at all to be fair…
Oops! Just ready the above properly… Apologies. I’m probably wrong anyway!
*coughs* – Lucky guess on my part there!
(Actually, a close examination in Photoshop did the trick…)
Well, I have a hypothetical location, but I ain,t sayin’.
I reckon its in the rocks.
Back on May 4, Matthew Cobb had a spot the Philae lander picture on WEIT. You can go back and look at that one – it will not help with this one.

I thought Philae was in my back yard which looks nothing like that picture. Although I spotted something in the pic that looks metallic, not rocky. Hint: Many rocks nearby.
I’m usually hopeless at the spot the ___ pictures but I think I’ve got this one. Maybe a combination of knowing why there were problems with where it landed and it not being camouflaged.
Ditto… though I am still not 100% sure that what I think is the lander isn’t just part of the terrain 🙂
I see it. It’s waving to us.
I can’t see the lander, but I’m pretty sure that’s a nightjar lurking beneath the potato-shaped boulder at the upper left.
Found it, too. I agree, it’s not easy, although if you followed the news around Philae’s landing you should have an idea of the general sort of place to start searching.
That was a hard one, but I’m pretty sure I found it.
Found it! Had to blow up the image and scan across multiple times before I saw it.
This figure illustrates how useless images from space are if you have no idea the magnification involved.
Make a Philae model 3 or 4mm tall and place it on an area of dirt and you could reproduce this figure.
Where the heck is that dad-burned lander, I surely can’t see it!
In the Area-51 film studio, just behind Buzz Aldrin’s gym and punch bag.
I reckon it’s in the aabcdhklosw at 0078%%doRwn
