Based on the most recent calculations using CONSERT data and detailed comet shape models, Philae's location has been revised to an area covering 34 × 21 m. The best fit area is marked in red, a good fit is marked in yellow, with areas on the white strip corresponding to previous estimates now discounted. One lander candidate proposed previously in the vicinity lies 62 m from the red marked area of the new CONSERT region, suggesting this is no longer a viable candidate.
