The robot spacecraft, Rosetta, has been waken from its deep slumber in order to probe the asteroid called Steins. Rosetta is made by the European Sapce Agency in order to undergo a 10 year journey and redezvous with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014.

However, the journey will be interrupted on Friday as it is set to probe and take pictures of the Asteroid, Steins. The scientists hopes that Rosetta will be able to take high-resolution data of Steins' size, shape, and maybe its composition in order to add to the knowledge about how asteroids are able to survive in orbit after millions of years.
