LOST IN SPACE: Rosetta spacecraft “confused” by comet 'droppings' following recent flyby.
The ESA [European Space Agency] said the Rosetta spacecraft is experiencing “significant difficulties in navigation” following Saturday’s close flyby of the comet. The spacecraft became “confused” by the comet’s dust, which prevented it from orienting with other stars. While it resumed normal status on Monday, operators stated that it would be a while longer before scientific observations continue.
Like driving in heavy fog without fog lamps.
