European Space Agency said its probe could be glimpsed Philae , who had lost sight from who landed on the 67P in November.
ESA said scientists analyzed images and other data sent by the probe and the mother ship, Rosetta . They identified several possible locations including a bright spot which was described as “a good candidate for the probe.”
Rosetta could not fly over the site to take a closer look since December, because the comet is letting out gas and dust as it approaches the sun.
The chances of locating Philae increase if the probe collects enough solar energy to activate and send a signal.
