This image shows the comet Wild 2, which NASA's Stardust spacecraft flew
by on Jan. 2, 2004. This image is the closest short exposure of the comet,
taken at an11.4-degree phase angle, the angle between the camera, comet
and the Sun. The listed names on the diagram (see Figure 1) are those
used by the Stardust team to identify features. "Basin" does not imply an
impact origin.
