The image presented here is a mosaic of four individual NavCam frames, captured from a distance of 30.5 km from the comet center while Rosetta was en route to the separation trajectory from which it will deploy Philae on Wednesday.]]></image:caption>

Two months ago, the World Health Organization launched an ambitious plan to stop the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa by isolating 70 percent of Ebola sick by Dec. 1. But on Sunday, it seems that WHO will miss their own target by a wide margin and without any indication of when they may reach that goal. The head of the U.N.'s Ebola response, Anthony Banbury, says "There are still going to be many people who catch the disease and many people who die from it."]]></image:caption>
