Spacecraft Captured Dust From Beyond Our Solar System
In 1999, US space agency NASA launched the Stardust spaceship with what seemed then to be extraordinary aims. The first task of the mission was to take pictures of a comet, before diving into its tail to collect samples of comet dust. The second was to collect any other dust it could; perhaps some that had its origin outside the solar system.
