I do not remember where I got this information, but the scribbles in my desk calendar indicate that the Stardust flyby will be at a range of 3700 km which of course is much closer than the Moon. Perhaps my information is incorrect. Or perhaps there will be some course corrections to retarget the Stardust flyby and the predictions from the JPL's Horizon page do not reflect these future course corrections?
