Explanation

NASA's Stardust mission was the first spacecraft to return a cometary sample to Earth. It collected particles from Comet Wild 2 in 2004 and returned the sample capsule to Earth in 2006. The returned samples were exhibited for public display at various museums and institutions. The other options are fictional or incorrect - there was no NASA mission called Supernova, Astradimus, or Fragspace that collected comet samples.
