ESA Philae Probe Lands on Comet

According to CNN, we've landed on a comet:

ESA lander system engineer Laurence O'Rourke said they were trying to check the orientation of the craft, to see "how we landed and where we landed."

"We are extremely happy," he said. "To get the signal it had touched the surface was a major achievement -- it was quite extraordinary. Philae is already taking measurements, sniffing the comet."
