Did you know that scientists are still trying to figure out where our planet’s water came from? Billions of years ago, Earth was a relatively warm planet. At that time, it was thought that the original water could have evaporated and disappeared into the sky. But new information has been discovered by scientists today that suggests that our water may have come from “the sky.”π²
β The information comes from the Devil Comet (12P/Pons-Brooks). This large comet is called the “Devil Comet” because of its strange horn-like coma. According to new research, scientists have found that the water vapor in this comet is similar to our seawater. This is further evidence that comets and asteroids collided with Earth billions of years ago and brought that water to us.π‘
π§ Comets that hit Earth deposited ice and gas, forming oceans, rivers, and lakes. The water we drink today, the water that flows in rivers, and the water that appears in the oceans β all of this is a gift from space.π
π¬ New discoveries about the Devil Comet suggest that our water and the things we need to sustain life may have come from the sky. Although some scientists believe that water was formed on Earth, these discoveries expand our understanding. The idea that our life and water came from a strange place in space is a fascinating and intriguing idea.β¨
β Finally, the Devil Comet tells us: Our water may be a gift from the sky that sustains life!
