So, I've been away from online-world lately (except to play City of Heroes). But, I wanted to mention this. I will soon be helping scientists look for stardust!! Go here to find out how you can help! It starts tomorrow!
From the website:
Q. What is Stardust@home ?
A. Stardust@home is a space science project in which volunteers from the general public help scientists locate particles from distant stars. The particles were captured by the spacecraft Stardust and are embedded in collector plates made of aerogel, which were carried by the spacecraft. The aerogel plates, and the particles within them, were returned to Earth in a sample return capsule on January 15, 2006. The purpose of Stardust@home is to find the particles within the aerogel plates. The project is expected to launch in May 2006.
