Scientific paper

Minerals created under high temperature conditions have been found in particles collected from the comet Wild 2 and may have come from the formation of the Sun or another solar system, NASA mission scientists said at a 13 March press conference. The Stardust spacecraft trapped the particles in an aerogel detector when it passed within 240 kilometers of the comet on 2 January 2004. Mission scientists have been processing the tiny grains, which range in size from 50 microns to less than one micron, since a few days after the Stardust return capsule landed in the Utah desert on 15 January 2006.
