Comet Dust Collected by NASA Predates Solar System

This sort of research is good for morale. I'm deeply comforted to hear about someone else's old dust. Which makes the stuff I swept this morning seem fresh by comparison..

They did this back in the 60s, and it was the basis for 'The Andromeda Strain'. The collector was on the cover of Scientific American.

Well, the top scientists were wrong again. Who'd have thunk it?

It is amazing how old a person will look after exposure to intense heat.

While this article related to the NASA discovery is interesting, others have already accomplished this feat handily. We were the first to publish the chemical composition of crystalline cometary and stellar grains in vivid detail in plane polarized light as shown on our links below. They published theirs in plane light-PL (black and white) apparently to avoid the similarity between our photomicrographs and theirs, since ours are in PPL-plane polarized light (colored crystals related to the chemical composition). They just recently published theirs but we did this 5-6 years before NASA beginning in 2002. NASA administration worked very hard behind the scenes to censor us knowing full well they were losing the race, "to get there first". Just so the record is clear I, an independent researcher was there first as the links below show. In addition to overtaking NASA on this discovery, we outdistanced them in many more planetary science discoveries.
