Astronomers spot signs of comets transporting water to a young solar system PDS 70

Possible exocomets around PDS 70 may reveal how giant planets send icy bodies and water toward regions where rocky worlds form.

Comets May Be Carrying Water to New Planets Around a Young Star

Astronomers have found signs that comets may be transporting water from the cold outer regions of a young planetary system toward the warmer area where new planets can form. The discovery could help scientists understand how water reached Earth billions of years ago. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden studied a planetary system called PDS […]
