NASA to Return First Comet Samples to Earth
An AP newswire article by Alicia Chang, via USA Today, reports that:
Six months after NASA scientists first peeked inside one comet from afar, they're bringing pieces of another to Earth for study under the microscope.
This weekend, the Stardust spacecraft will jettison a 100-pound capsule holding comet dust. It will nosedive through the Earth's atmosphere and — if all goes well — make a soft landing in the Utah desert.
