Philae's Runway

This ia sightly different angle of the Philae landing site. The angle of the sun is above the equator and is more akin to the lighting Philae will experience. The orientation of the image is such that the centre of the landing area is pointing straight up, The centre of the landing ellipse is about where the black rock is in the centre of the image. The neck region and "North Pole" are at the top of the image. The distance from bottom right to top left, is a little under a mile.
