A detailed analysis of the comet Wild 2 (pronounced "Vilt 2") has left astronomers astounded at an object that has no known peers in the solar system.

The comet, examined in a close flyby in January by NASA's Stardust spacecraft, has towering protrusions and steep-walled craters that seem to defy gravity. More than a dozen jets of material shoot out from its insides. Dust swirls around the comet in unexpectedly dense pockets.

Interesting to see a crater named Mayo

An interesting Article, just goes to show that sending probles to other solar system bodies is scientifically VERY valuable because we don't tend to find what we expect!

P.S. I always knew Mayo was a hole but now we have evidence! :wink:

Aren't all the roads in Cavan full of holes??
