“A critical aspect of this was the dedication and hard work of the citizen scientists who worked on this,” Westphal said. “We couldn’t have done it without them.” In fact, two of those Dusters, Bruce Hudson from Midland, Ontario, Canada, and Naomi Wordsworth from Wexbury, South Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, were allowed to name the interstellar particles they found: Orion and Hylabrook, respectively.
