I know it's been a while since I posted on much other than Firefox, but this is going to be an exciting year in space exploration so expect more from me in the coming weeks and months.
So what's happening this week?
NASA's Stardust spacecraft is one week away from its conclusion, the return of a capsule carrying particles captured from Comet Wild 2. This will be the first time we've had our hands on the material from a comet and the science team hopes to learn not just more about comets, but about history of the early solar system.
Stay tuned for more updates on my particular interests in space exploration and astronomy.

I haven't looked into the particulars much beyond finding out that all the fun and games takes place in the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning. Am thinking of staying up and blogging it (seems to be part of a January space tradition), if I get over this case of the sniffles in time. You too?

Asa, thanks for the reminder that Stardust was returning soon; I'm looking forward to your other posts on space, as well as the usual Mozilla information.
