Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope.

Donald E. Brownlee, +185 more
- 15 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: The Stardust spacecraft collected thousands of particles from comet 81P/Wild 2 and returned them to Earth for laboratory study, and preliminary examination shows that the nonvolatile portion of the comet is an unequilibrated assortment of materials that have both presolar and solar system origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organics captured from comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Stardust spacecraft.

TL;DR: The presence of deuterium and nitrogen-15 excesses suggest that some organics have an interstellar/protostellar heritage and a diverse suite of organic compounds is present and identifiable within the returned samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sample Analysis at Mars Investigation and Instrument Suite

Paul R. Mahaffy, +84 more
TL;DR: The Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) investigation of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) addresses the chemical and isotopic composition of the atmosphere and volatiles extracted from solid samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbonaceous meteorites contain a wide range of extraterrestrial nucleobases

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the purines detected in meteorites are consistent with products of ammonium cyanide chemistry, which provides a plausible mechanism for their synthesis in the asteroid parent bodies, and strongly supports an extraterrestrial origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cometary Glycine Detected in Samples Returned by Stardust

TL;DR: In this article, the stable carbon isotopic ratios of glycine and E-amino-n-caproic acid (EACA) were sent to Earth by NASA's Stardust spacecraft.
