[ non-english language ] >> reporter: the european space agency had been chasing the comet since the launch of the rosetta in 2004. catching up to a comet traveling up to nearly 84,000 miles an hour meant using the gravity of the earth and mars as a slingshot building up speed by swinging around both planets before slinging off toward its target. it finally caught up to the comet in august and began looking for a place to land its probe. when it caught up to the comet they were expecting something about the shape of a potato. instead, they found this, which has been described as closer to a rubber duck. that made it even more important to find the exact landing location. this comet which is left over debris from the formation of the solar system is 2.5 miles wide and weighs 10 billion tons. scientists hope to take samples from the surface and possibly shed some light on how the solar system began. charlie d'agata, cbs news, germany. >> it takes more than 28 minutes for a command
