Strange comet unlike anything known

Whee Stardust. My father's been working on that project []
The technology in these are actually amazing. Do
a google search on aerogel, really amazing stuff.

Can't wait for the Rosetta to begin when they
will actually try to land on a comet.

Comet Wild 2's jets and craters astound astronomers

A detailed analysis of the comet Wild 2 (pronounced "Vilt 2") has left astronomers astounded at an object that has no known peers in the solar system.

The comet, examined in a close flyby in January by NASA's Stardust spacecraft, has towering protrusions and steep-walled craters that seem to defy gravity. More than a dozen jets of material shoot out from its insides. Dust swirls around the comet in unexpectedly dense pockets.
