The search for Near Earth Orbiting Objects (NEO’s) is a worthwhile endeavor since there is a small possibility that one could eradicate most of the life on earth. NASA has taken steps to understand their orbital patterns and compositions. The Stardust mission was one such endeavor that has helped us understand Comet Wild 2. See the comet up close as Stardust did and learn for yourself that these dirty snowballs are more than they seem to be at first glance.
