Is Rosetta's comet lander doomed? Scientists have just 24 hours left to save the solar-powered probe after it lands at the bottom of a CLIFF in darkness

Esa has confirmed they will make a daring attempt to save the Philae probe on the surface of comet 67P. The lander is stuck in partial darkness near a cliff on the rim of a crater with one of its legs pointing into space. It is not getting enough sunlight to keep itself alive so engineers may try to 'hop' it onto the ground. But there might not be enough power to do this until the comet gets closer to the sun in a few months. This might mean the lander has to go into hibernation for a few months until it can 'come back from the dead'. Its main battery only has about 30 hours of power and the probe needs to be recharged to survive. Earlier Philae sent back the first ever images from the surface of a comet (left), confirming it was in darkness.
