[[NASA]] cancelled a media briefing on its [[Stardust (spacecraft)|Stardust mission]], expected to provide an update about analysis of both the "{{w|Comet Wild 2}}" particles and {{w|interstellar particles}} gathered during the nearly seven year mission.  In "MEDIA ADVISORY: M06-016," issued earlier today, the space agency announced postponement of the briefing, originally scheduled for Tuesday, January 24, 1 p.m. EST.  No announcement has been made about when the briefing will be re-scheduled.  NASA's stated reason for delay was to, "allow the Stardust science team additional time to assess and distribute cometary samples."
