ITN: Space Dust from Japan Probe

[CraigS]

This post may be more suited for the 'General Chat' Forum but there will be some science behind it once they release the actual report …

Japan space probe may have brought home space dust: reports

Japan's space agency has found particles that may be extra-terrestrial in the capsule of the space probe Hayabusa that returned home in June after a seven-year journey to an asteroid, reports said Wednesday.

These particles have apparently different characteristics from those examined earlier in the year which were believed to have originated from Earth.

"Japan's space agency has found particles that may be extra-terrestrial in the capsule of the space probe Hayabusa that returned home in June after a seven-year journey to an asteroid, reports said Wednesday."

Sorry , but no 'cows paddy'! ......isn't that what it was supposed to do?

"Scientists discovered minute particles that may be from outside Earth, the Yomiuri newspaper and Kyodo News agency reported."
