Visitors to Google's home page (www.google.com) were greeted with an animated doodle highlighting the feat.
As in past doodles, clicking on the image will take the visitor to a Google Search Results page for the historic soft-landing.
The doodle, which marked the "Philae robotic lander land(ing) on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko," can be viewed worldwide.
An article on WebProNews.com said it did not take long for Google to "whip up a Doodle" to celebrate Philae's historic feat.
“After more than 10 years travelling through space, we’re now making the best ever scientific analysis of one of the oldest remnants of our Solar System,” it quoted Alvaro Giménez, ESA’s Director of Science and Robotic Exploration, as saying.
Rosetta, launched on March 2, 2014, traveled 6.4 billion kilometers through the Solar System before arriving at the comet last August. — Joel Locsin/ELR, GMA News
