The ESA's comet lander Philae is probably dead.
Philae arrived at the surface of comet 67P, (also known as Churyumov-Gerasimenko) in 2014 - delivered there by ESA's Rosetta probe.
Philae and Rosetta communicated for 57 hours after-which Philae became sporadic and finally silent.
ESA has sent a "last-ditch" message to the lander in hopes of triggering a response-the bad news is that it seems to have failed.
