Janusz,
It's a Sci Fi novel waiting to happen, mark my words! Alien life forms hidden in the arepgel and when released...what happens?!?

Mr. Smage,
Is HAT an anogram for something, or did I just miss something there?

This was posted by Rambozo and accidentally deleted. I have reposted it with my apologies. It's a very nice choice for a name. Kudryavka - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudryavka Just to remind everybody that life ain't always nice and pleasant - a lot of animals have been sacrificed at the altar of ...

Your daughter has a great sense of humor!
What would that make us? Filters?

You know, I have literally started with elementary school books on quantum mechanicsand am now working through a couple of more complex books, like Stephen Hawkings stuff to try to grasp some of this. I have repeatedly read that some of it just can't be explained. Not that we couldn't handle it...we...

There goes a few more brain cells trying to understand this stuff!
Awsome Picture! Thanks for sharing it fjgiie!

Wow! Amazing job John!

You really put some time into that!

I hope you helped solve the problem!

Jeffs presentation is a good one, you would do well to consider it.

Hi Marc! I did a presentation at my son's school last year. I just gave the teacher a copy of the slideshow in advance so they could preapprove it. If you are talking about a Stardust club, perhaps you should start with your Parent/Teacher organization. Some of them can be very political. You can al...

It does look like a tree!

I think I saw another one in the right quad on that one Phil. They are very close to the surface, which is low on this one. I would have clicked, but I'm not sure. But hey, it never hurts, good luck! Anyone else have an opinion?

If only we could be among the stars and see that in person! It's so beautiful!

Thanks John, that was interesting! I had no problem running the demo program and it works like you said, in case some dusters are concerned. The 3rd demo was a little sluggish for me, probably from my end. It could be helpful for posting on the possible track or interesting object thread. But it is ...

My apologies to you LaserPhil, harmony, and the moon. I merged the thread with all your comments with the "I think I found a track, what do you think" thread this morning and didn't leave a copy of it behind so you could see what happened. In order to keep the forum clean, we try to keep t...

Ah John, Thanks for catching that! What I meant was to say that Zack provides some info on what was found with the comet particles. This logic can help explain how we can look at the stardust particles and get their compositions and determine where they came from. Plus, as Bryan said, the direction ...

Zack had this post about the stardust particles. Although it doesn't exactally answer your question, it does give some idea of how they believe where the comet came from. It may give a little bit of info for you and help you understand how what they find helps decide where it was. I hope that helps!
