“…NASA Discovery Mission V, Genesis, collected solar wind in space, 1.5 million km sunward from Earth, for a period of 2.3 years and returned this sample for laboratory analysis (Burnett et al, 2003;Burnett and Team, 2011;Reisenfeld et al, 2013). The solar wind can serve as a proxy for the composition of the Sun and, thus, average of composition of the solar nebula (Marty et al, 2011;McKeegan et al, 2011), provided that fractionation processes occurring during the formation of the solar wind (e.g., Heber et al, 2012a) can be understood and quantitatively modeled.…”
