Karen Hulse: Missing Rover

Karen wrote “I remember hearing about Philae being lost and eventually found in the shadow of a large boulder. I could not imagine what everyone on the team went through, but hearing the good news eventually and seeing the images on Flickr was so exciting.”

Karen Hulse is a vfx expert, photographer, and occasional cartoonist based in New Zealand. Starting out with a small cartoon animation studio in Snells Beach working on some small straight to dvd Veggietale projects, she eventually wound up with a big vfx studio in Wellington helping light and render blockbuster movies such as Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Iron Man 3 and the Hobbit trilogy in the shots department.

A review of the EP is available on the CDM magazine: http://cdm.link/newswires/francesco-novara-astron-ep-brings-comet-inspired-music-open-licenses/

Francesco Novara was born in a small city out of Venice, and gave up a first dream of art restoration to focus on music. After ten years at the music department of the storied Fabrica research center, Novara has made a name as a prodigious composer, from documentary soundtracks to advertising – and composed music for a launch of an ESA satellite.

Rosetta’s mission has come to an end and this is the final video of the “Once upon a time...”-series that had been produced throughout from the awakening of the probe on. It’s a real tear jerker... *sniff* No, I’m not crying... *sniff* *sniff* *cries* (and please watch till the end) [and I’d suggest you to watch the previous videos (here’s the playlist in English) as well to learn more about this probe and her mission :) ]

And this is the final image that Rosetta has taken, mere 20m above the ground.
