ROWE:
As Rosetta scanned the comet, searching for the lost lander,

ROWE:
As Rosetta scanned the comet,
00:00:02.801 --> 00:00:06.996
searching for the lost lander,
it faced a new problem.
00:00:07.673 --> 00:00:13.511
As this dirty snowball races
towards the sun, the radiation
00:00:13.612 --> 00:00:14.846
from the sun heats it up,
00:00:14.947 --> 00:00:18.383
and so it starts snapping
and popping and cracking,
00:00:18.484 --> 00:00:20.485
transforming itself.
00:00:20.586 --> 00:00:22.487
It's like a firework show.
00:00:22.588 --> 00:00:25.557
ROWE: Huge jets blasted material
from the surface.
00:00:25.658 --> 00:00:27.659
Would the outbursts
00:00:27.076 --> 00:00:29.494
launch Philae into space?
