Finding implies that comets may not have seeded our nascent planet with water
« on: December 11, 2014, 11:43:37 AM »
Water contained in the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has a deuterium/hydrogen ratio vastly unlike that on Earth, a new study reports (Science 2014; DOI: 10.1126/science.1261952). The finding implies that comets may not have seeded our nascent planet with water.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
