The European Space Agency (ESA) has published a new video of Philae's comet landing to mark the first anniversary of the selection of Site J as the key area of operation for Philae.

The video has been made using the original seven images which were captured by Philae's ROsetta Lander Imaging System (ROLIS). The landing was made on November 12, 2014. The comet had captured a host of still images with its Rolis descent camera during the landing and these were now jointly used to design the video.

The video has been prepared by Jakub Knapik, who is the visual effects supervisor at Platige Image, Warsaw. Knapik utilized VFX compositor NUKE from The Foundry for the purpose of projecting the original set of images with a 3D effect.

The video is seamless and presents a striking view of the landing. The video recording equipments were not included in the video since downlinking of videos is a long process and can take several months owing to higher bandwidth.

Following the release of the video, ESA clarified that all the images available with them were fitted in the video and not were held back.

The time gap between each of the seven images was that of 10 seconds and Knapik interpolated in time. Philae landing between 67 metres and just 9 metres above the surface in real-time consumed merely one minute.

"We think Jakub's movie version gives a much more visceral impression of the first ever soft-landing on a comet and are happy to share it with you. Enjoy!", ESA stated.
