Stardust Science Update
The 2007 round of sample processing and allocations of Cosmic Dust has been completed. The Cosmic Dust Lab (CDL)
at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, will be closed down and cleaned in order to resume work associated with processing of the Interstellar Tray from Stardust.
Stardust's Big Surprise
The comet particles returned by the Stardust mission have been a real bonanza. They do contain some stardust grains from other stars but the majority of solids are solar system materials that appear to have formed over a very broad range of solar distances and perhaps over an extended time range.
