Scientific paper

In January 2004, the Stardust spacecraft flew through the dust of comet 81P/Wild 2 and captured specks of the cometary dust. On analysis of the comet 81P/Wild 2 samples it was found that they contain materials formed in the coldest and hottest regions of the early solar nebula, strongly suggesting "mixing" on the grandest scale. Here, it is suggested that if microorganisms were present in the early solar nebula, as required by the hypothesis of cometary panspermia, then in the light of the Stardust findings, life was already present in the very material that formed planetary bodies.
