PARIS: A comet streaking through space with a European robot lab riding piggyback will skirt the sun this week, setting another landmark in the quest to unravel the origins of life on earth.

If this occurs, Europe’s Rosetta spacecraft will be orbiting nearby, ready to pounce on any clues of how our star system came into being.
