The reanalysis of the “rubber-ducky” comet 67P data, which was gathered almost ten years ago, revealed that comets might have left far more water on Earth than previously believed.
The notion that comets brought water to the early Earth has lost favor in the last ten years. But according to Live Science, a fresh analysis of data from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Rosetta mission to a famous “rubber ducky” comet has revived that possibility.
It is crucial to remember that the chemical composition of water is really straightforward. Each molecule has only three atoms: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Furthermore, it is one of the most prevalent compounds on Earth, with the oceans of our globe containing roughly a million trillion tons of the liquid.
