Stardust Canister Opened: 'A Huge Success'

SPACE.com -- Stardust Canister Opened: 'A Huge Success': "We can see lots of impacts. There are big ones, there are small ones. The big ones you can see from 10 feet away" A preliminary estimation is that there might be more than a million microscopic specks of dust embedded in Stardust's aerogel-laden collector. Furthermore, it appears, from the size of the carrot-shaped impact tracks in the aerogel, that there are about 10 particles of 100 microns in size.
