Lab scientist Hope Ishii shows a track of cometary dust going through aerogel on a computer at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in Livermore, California, January 31, 2006.  NASA's Stardust space capsule is the first U.S. mission launched to obtain samples in deep space from beyond the moon and return them to earth. Stardust launched in February 1999 and completed three loops around the sun collecting interstellar and comet dust to finally return to earth January 15, 2006.
REUTERS/Kimberly WhiteAP - Scientists said Monday they have begun slicing and dicing the first of hundreds of microscopic specks of comet dust, virtually unchanged since the birth of the solar system, that a NASA spacecraft successfully returned to Earth in late January.
