NASA-led team links comet water to Earth's oceans



Greenbelt MD (SPX) Dec 04, 2024
Researchers have found that water on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has a similar molecular signature to the water in Earth's oceans. Contradicting some recent results, this finding reopens the case that Jupiter-family comets like 67P could have helped deliver water to Earth. Water was essential for life to form and flourish on Earth and it remains central for Earth life today. While some water likely existed in the gas and dust from which our planet materialized around 4.6 billion years ago, muc ... read more
