NASA POSTPONES STARDUST MISSION MEDIA UPDATE

NASA has postponed the Stardust comet mission media briefing scheduled
for 1 p.m. EST (12 p.m. CST), Tuesday. The agency plans to allow the
Stardust science team additional time to assess and distribute
cometary samples before scheduling media briefings.

NASA has enlisted more than 150 experts to accelerate sample studies.
The first samples will be shipped to researchers this week. For
