The Rosetta contest, when do we arrive? to celebrate his arrival and landing on the comet

It is expected that Rosetta, the ESA spacecraft that has been traveling through space for ten years, including hibernation, reaches the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 6, 2014 and land the module Philae at. To celebrate and involve the children of this extraordinary event, from ESA they have called a contest in which you have to send an image that simulates where is Rosetta and especially answering that question that children love, when do we arrive? (#RosettaAreWeThereYet)

There are fantastic prizes for the winners on the ESA page though the most fun is to participate. To do this you have to download the cutout It appears in the image that illustrates the article and build a stage to explain where Rosetta goes. The most creative images can be winning. In the links below there is more information and especially you have to send the image using the form on this page. In addition, after August 6 and until August 21, the best photos can be voted.

The Rosetta probe woke up from its hibernation state months ago and is finally going to land on the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Rosetta's mission is very spectacular and we will see it on all televisions. It is a milestone that a probe that has remained floating through the sleeping space has been able to wake up and go in search of the comet. For children it is an extraordinary reference to get their attention and arouse their interest in space, science and astronomy.
