Does anybody know of any decent layman-oriented summary of the successful measurements performed by Philae & Rosetta? And any interesting and/or surprising findings and conclusions? After quick googling I've found this: http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Science_on_the_surface_of_a_comet http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Scie... from July 2015 (e.g.: "[CONSERT] results show that the small lobe of the comet is consistent with a very loosely compacted (porosity 75–85%) mixture of dust and ice (dust-to-ice ratio 0.4–2.6 by volume) that is fairly homogeneous on the scale of tens of metres") but I'd be interested in more, more recent, and with more explanations and details.
