It seems to me that this shot is missing: http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/11/16/philae_spotted_after_first_landing/ http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/11/16/ph

  The pic you linked to was taken with a different camera (NAVCAM), the pictures in this article (OSIRIS) are much better, and clearly show the lander before and after touchdown along with marks where it first landed/bounced. What they don't show unfortunately is the final resting place, but that's a bit tricky because of comet rotation, comet shape (not a flat surface), and the parabolic trajectory of the lander. What's the confusion about the time? Touchdown was at 15:34 UTC (NB UTC), I doubt anyone at ESA is confused about the time, though some of the commenters seem pretty confused on the ESA blog post this BBC article is based on: http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/11/17/osiris-spots-philae-drifting-across-the-comet/ http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/11/17/osiris-spots-philae-...

    It says below the article that they confused the time due to fatigue.

      That's an older article about old pics though isn't it, not these new pics? It was just a label on the website blog which the web team got wrong and was corrected soon after posting. The pics in the article you link are 4 mins before and 1 minute after landing, not 1 hour after, and they are corroborated by these new images, so no real confusion over timings.
