Alternative Context View of Flightpath - Annotated
This is an alternative view of Philae's flight almost from above. The height of the trajectories is unknown so the point on the rim that Philae hits is unknown, I have picked out a highpoint on the rim for simplicity. It is far easier to pick out the point when OSIRIS snapped Philae in this image, in the first one I think I put it in the crater above. It is easier to relate the direction of flight to the NAVCAM image where Philae's bounce was first spotted too. So hopefully this image is more realistic, though still not based on any calculations.
