Stardust capsule returns to Earth
A capsule containing comet particles
and interstellar dust has landed on
Earth after a seven-year space mission.
The Stardust probe released the capsule
as it flew back to Earth after a 4.6-
billion-km (2.8-billion-mile) trip.
The US-built capsule plunged through
the atmosphere and touched down in the
Utah desert at 0312 (1012 GMT).
Scientists believe the first cometary
dust samples ever returned to Earth
will shed light on the origins of the
Solar System.
