The Launch of STARDUST

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

A Delta II rocket recently launched the STARDUST mission into the Solar System. STARDUST will photograph Comet Wild in 2004 and return interstellar dust samples to Earth in 2006. Much is unknown about the size, composition, and shapes of these dust grains. A side-mounted camera captured this image of the solid rocket boosters separating above Earth.
