I'm Naz, and here's what's coming up on Friday's Newsround.

:00:08.:00:11.

Niall from One Direction's new direction.

:00:12.:00:12.

But first, one of the most epic and daring space missions ever has

:00:13.:00:27.

The Rosetta spacecraft was the first to travel to a comet in space,

:00:28.:00:33.

sending back thousands of amazing images.

:00:34.:00:35.

Today, after 12 years, it ended its mission by deliberately

:00:36.:00:40.

crash-landing on to the very comet that it had been studying.

:00:41.:00:42.

It was a big moment for the scientists watching

:00:43.:00:44.

at the European Space Agency HQ in Germany.

:00:45.:01:00.

You have 300 people watching the signal and suddenly wasn't there

:01:01.:01:09.

more, it eyed. There was a side of sorrow and then a spontaneous

:01:10.:01:14.

standing ovation. There was no cheering, just clapping in

:01:15.:01:18.

acknowledgement of the fantastic job that the spacecraft operations staff

:01:19.:01:23.

had down. Absolutely superb. And then we saw the images. Amazing

:01:24.:01:28.

images. The last one was five metres above the surface. Stupendous.

:01:29.:01:34.

Well, scientists reckon that all the pictures and information

:01:35.:01:36.

the spacecraft has sent back during its mission will keep

:01:37.:01:38.

But Rosetta's 12-year space voyage hasn't been entirely smooth,

:01:39.:01:41.

After launching in 2004, it took Rosetta ten years to catch up with

:01:42.:02:13.

the super speedy comet. After such a long journey, the you would hope

:02:14.:02:16.

things would not go wrong, but they did. In 2014, Rosetta tried to

:02:17.:02:24.

attach a special space probe onto the comet. But instead, it ounce to

:02:25.:02:29.

a few times and got stuck somewhere dark on the comet. Bad news for a

:02:30.:02:36.

space probe powered by sunlight. With no sunlight, the batteries ran

:02:37.:02:40.

out after just three days and it went into hibernation mode. Was this

:02:41.:02:49.

the end? Not so. In 2015, it woke up from hibernation as the comet got

:02:50.:02:53.

nearer to the sun and sent back lots of information to earth. And in

:02:54.:03:01.

2016, the location of the probe was discovered, wedged in a dark crack

:03:02.:03:07.

on the comet. Whilst this had been happening, the Rosetta spacecraft

:03:08.:03:10.

was orbiting the comet. But now its journey has come to an end with a

:03:11.:03:13.

bang, well, a crash. Well, it's also a bit

This is his new track but doesn't sound a little familiar?

:03:41.:03:45.

# And all these little things. #

It sounds and looks a bit like little things, don't you think? Both

Look, there he is again with that guitar. And surprisingly, the one

Direction boys have only just heard it themselves. I presume they have
