Life and Water Appeared on Earth After the Moon Formed, Researchers Say

Water, one of the essential ingredients for life on Earth, did not appear on the planet until after the moon-forming event. Credits: Richard Bartz, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons. Water, one of the essential ingredients for life on Earth, did not appear on the planet until after the moon-forming event. A study led by Professor Katherine Bermingham of Rutgers University challenges what was previously thought about the origin of water on the …

Life-bearing Water Arrived on Earth Later Rather Than Sooner

Life-bearing water arrived on Earth later rather than sooner

Scientist have concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth's formation as previously thought, an insight that bears directly on the question of when life originated on the planet. The finding is significant because the data reported by the study support the idea that water arrived towards the final stages of Earth's development into a planet from dust and gas, what geologists refer to as late accretion.

A team of researchers led by Katherine Bermingham, from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, has discovered that water did not reach Earth at as early a stage of its formation as had been assumed so far. This finding has fundamental implications in determining when and how it may have originated [...]
