The spacecraft was placed in a hibernation mode in June, 2011. The wake-up procedure began at 4 a.m. CST (10:00 UTC) this morning with four alarm clocks on board Rosetta set to go off, triggering a series of changes aboard the spacecraft that would result in its antenna pointing toward Earth and sending a signal our way.

Space engineers believe Rosetta’s navigation camera could glimpse the comet from a distance of 100,000 kilometers by March, 2014. WATCH: This Is One Time-Lapse Big Oil Doesn't Want You To See.
