NASA's Stardust space capsule is now safely back on Earth after quite a journey. Scientists are now studying the payload (about one teaspoon of dust) that successfully landed in the Utah desert. We will now learn much more about the comets that circle our solar system and thereby more about the early foundations of our own planet some 4.5 billion years ago. Visit NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for more on the progress of the research.
