I offer a very minor correction to the fascinating article “Making the Moon,” by Dave Stevenson (Physics Today, November 2014). On page 35 , Stevenson writes, “the Moon remains the only body from which we have returned samples.” That neglects the Stardust mission, which successfully returned a sample of dust from Comet Wild 2 in 2006.
