Scientists have confirmed that particles from a comet and interstellar dust have been returned to Earth by NASA's Stardust mission. "The collection of cometary particles has exceeded our expectations," said Dr. Donald Brownlee, Stardust principal investigator from the University of Washington, Seattle. "We were absolutely thrilled to see thousands of impacts on the aerogel."
