These aren't the first results published -- there've been a couple of articles in Science, for instance.

Agreed. The fact that the Sun's isotropic distribution appears to be similar to that of Jupiter is interesting...would like to know more, there have to be other implications that I ain't smart enough to think about!

Genesis has made the cover of this week's Science!
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/332/6037.cover-expansion there are two papers on this issue: The Oxygen Isotopic Composition of the Sun Inferred from Captured Solar Wind A 15N-Poor Isotopic Composition for the Solar System As Shown by Genesis Solar Wind Samples and a good resume: The Earth and the Sun |
