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

Mineralogy and petrology of comet 81P/wild 2 nucleus samples

Michael E. Zolensky, +75 more
- 15 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: The bulk of the comet 81P/Wild 2 samples returned to Earth by the Stardust spacecraft appear to be weakly constructed mixtures of nanometer-scale grains, with occasional much larger ferromagnesian silicates, Fe-Ni sulfides,Fe-Ni metal, and accessory phases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shock metamorphism and petrography of the Shergotty achondrite

TL;DR: In this paper, the shock history of the Shergotty meteorite has been evaluated by analyzing the observable shock effects, including mosaicism, deformation bands, planar fractures, and mechanical twin lamellae in clinopyroxene.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lunar regolith: Chemistry, mineralogy, and petrology

TL;DR: The data base on the lunar regolith is surveyed to form a synthesis of the moon regolith chemistry, mineralogy, and petrology as discussed by the authors, which was derived from samples collected by the Apollo missions 11-17 and the Luna 16, 20, and 24 probes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radar-Enabled Recovery of the Sutter’s Mill Meteorite, a Carbonaceous Chondrite Regolith Breccia

Peter Jenniskens, +75 more
- 21 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of some of these fragments shows that the Sutter's Mill meteorite represents a new type of carbonaceous chondrite, a rare and primitive class of meteorites that contain clues to the origin and evolution of primitive materials in the solar system.
