I thought the Rosetta Stone was an artifact used to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics.

You sure about that pic?

EDIT:

Nvm. It's the name of a comet.

Was over here confused like a ************.

Yeah, the word 'stone' created unnecessary confusion there

It's just labeled "Rosetta's comet" I think.

Yea the commet has a weird name I forget but the satellite following it is called the rosetta

Pretty crazy imo
The satellite traveled 4 billion miles and will actually touch down on it in november.

It's called Rosetta, not Rosetta Stone

Definitely interested in seeing what they learn from it touching down though, repped for the info.

Wow, so they actually had to do the calculations to land that? I don't understand, there's no way it's remote controlled from that far of a distance. It's pretty amazing. I find myself learning more about space recently, might purchase a telescope if I can get some extra money.

High jump record is 8 feet. NBA nets are 15-18" in length. So there should be at least a 6" gap from the bar to the bottom of the net. Hard to tell in the picture but it looks like they're a few inches off. Still, pretty awesome.
