News story originally written on February 15, 1999
Actually,
Stardust will catch pieces of a
comet and
return
them to Earth. Scientists
think that comet pieces haven't changed since the
Solar System formed.
They want to study the comet pieces to find out more about the Solar
System.
STARDUST will collect comet pieces in a special material called aerogel.
Aerogel is like glass but is 1000 times lighter!
