Four and a half billion years ago, all of the matter of the solar system, including us, was part of a giant molecular cloud. Genesis is providing the chemical composition of that solar nebula. ...The material is still stored for us in the surface of the sun.Don Burnett
There are three kinds of solar wind. The spacecraft was able to move the collection panels in and out to get data from different types. We've already analyzed noble gases helium, neon and argon, as they are not too sensitive to this type of contamination. We want to measure the ratios of isotopes of elements from the Sun's surface, and we now have direct data. We're getting interesting and important results even at this early stage.
