Stardust Particle Participation
You can sign up to look for interstellar particles using an online Virtual Microscope at Stardust@Home.
As well as being the first mission to return samples from a comet, Stardust is the first sample return mission from the Galaxy. But finding the incredibly tiny interstellar dust impacts in the Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector (SIDC) will be extremely difficult.
Volunteers will appear as a co-author on any scientific paper by the Stardust@home collaboration announcing the discovery of the particle.
