At least they found some organics before lights out. We've previously found an amino acid in a comet's tail. Neither of these molecules are terribly complex (dunno Philae's specifics yet), but it still helps us to get a sense of their abundance. Another indicator that the idea of "Panspermia" might hold true, at least in part.
