This movie was taken from a NASA DC-8 aircraft as the Stardust sample
return capsule entered the atmosphere in the early morning hours of
Jan.
15, 2006. At the time this video was shot, the DC-8 was flying at the
eastern edge of the Nevada state line. The Stardust sample return
capsule had a soft landing in the US Air Force's Utah Test and Training
Range at 3:10 am MST.
