Although modern science has solved most of the mysteries surrounding Stardust's disappearance in 1947, one mystery still remains. Just before the plane disappeared, it sent one final message in Morse code which was picked up by the radio operator in Santiago, where the plane was due to land. The full message sent at 17.41 hrs was as follows:
'ETA [estimated time of arrival] Santiago 17.45 hrs STENDEC'
The final apparently unintelligible word 'STENDEC' has been a source of mystery, confusion and intrigue ever since."
