Explanation:
NASA launches
powerful rockets. One such rocket, the
Delta II,
recently lofted the
STARDUST mission into the
nearby Solar System.
STARDUST is expected to photograph
Comet Wild in 2004 as it zooms by, and return
interstellar dust
samples to Earth in 2006.
Currently,
much remains unknown about the size distribution,
primordial composition, and even shapes of these
dust grains.
Above, a side-mounted camera photographed the
separation of the
solid rocket boosters
above the receding Earth.
