The robotic comet landing Philae successfully touched on the surface 67P on 12 November 2014. However, due to an unforeseen event, it ran out of its primary power and the solar cells could not be charged properly, leading to the probe shutting down after a few days. Recently however, due to the comet’s movement, the probe was able to charge its solar batteries and is functioning as expected. What was the event that caused this problem?
