The European Space Agency's comet lander, Philae, has awoken and contacted Earth for the first time since November.
Philae successfully landed on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November, but ran out of battery power after just 60 hours.
However now it seems that enough sunlight has landed on Philae for it to wake up, and on Saturday it contacted Earth for 85 seconds. A Twitter account linked to the probe sent out this message.
