JustStuit Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 As most of you know, NASA recently brought back stardust from comets and such. I thought it was pretty cool because my sister's physics teacher gets to go to Texas to be one of the people to examine the dust. We are fraternal twins (yes one boy and one girl) in physics honors but with different teachers. It's unfortunate because she got the teacher who teaches AP and she's more creative and I'm the science/math one. I'll be taking AP next year. The paper said there were five other teachers from Brevard to go. What do you think about the stardust? Will it reveal secrets about the composition of the planets and the orgins of the solar system? btw: I didn't know what forum to put this in so I put it in general.
Ophiolite Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 If you believe in pan spermia, as I do, then the results from this could be a critical test of the hypothesis. At the very least I expect a plethora of organic molecules previously unideintified in space.
