Scientists have discovered where Earth's water comes from, and say that it wasn't brought to the planet by asteroid impacts after all.

Scientists have long questioned whether an early Earth could have contained the appropriate hydrogen and oxygen on its own to create the water on our planet.

Origins of Water on Earth May Not Have Started with an Asteroid Impact The chemical composition of a meteorite that was built much like early Earth shows evidence of ample hydrogen necessary to form ...

The origin of hydrogen, and by extension water, on Earth has been highly debated, with many believing that the necessary hydrogen was delivered by asteroids from outer space during Earth’s first ...
