The mineral is being named brownleeite in honor of University of Washington astronomer Donald Brownlee. He is a pioneer in the study of comet dust. ... Brownleeite is particularly interesting in that it was found in space. There are fewer than 4400 minerals known. From the earliest days of space exploration,

The mineral, a manganese silicide named Brownleeite, was discovered within an interplanetary dust particle, or IDP, that appears to have originated from comet 26P/Grigg-Skjellerup. The comet originally was discovered in 1902 and reappears every 5 years.
