A Japanese mission (codenamed Hayabusa) to collect samples from the Itokawa asteroid has finally returned to Earth after a three year delay caused by technical problems! It is remarkable that the capsule has returned following a catalogue of technical problems and it isn't clear yet whether any samples of the asteroid were actually collected as the collector failed at the moment of collection! Hopefully, there will be enough material for analysis to help us to better understand our Solar System!
