Where did all of the water on earth come from? This is a question that Emery, a scientist from Knoxville, Tennessee, is very interested in and that leads him to a very important discovery.
There has always been a question of how water really did come to this earth. I am here to tell you that by watching a news article on a website called news.science360.gov. I have realized there is one more theory that should be considered. Some scientists have found that there is actually a fair amount of water in asteroids. Some people believe that we could have gotten water from the asteroids hitting the earth a very long time ago. This is a very interesting inference that may explain where we got water.
I personally have never really been big on needing to find out exactly how our earth was made, and where we got our water. It has never really been a huge interest of mine. After I read this article, I realized that it might be more important than we would think. Finding out where the water came from and how our earth was made is a big step to being able to know more about this interesting world we live in. It was a very recent discovery that showed there is water in and on the asteroids. This can mean that there is a still a lot more to be discovered about where our water really came from.
In this article, the main scientist mentions what a great feeling is once you have made a discovery. You then know that at that certain time you are the only one in the whole entire world who knows about it. They really believe that this research is very important. Emery, the scientist from Knoxville, Tennessee says “Now we are thinking that asteroids are very rich in water, which is a very probable cause of where our water came from.” In the article, it says how this information can help with later discoveries.
This was a very interesting article to watch and I enjoyed watching it very much. Space science really interests me, so I really was interested in this article. I hope that the research on this can be continued so we can figure more things out about our world and how it was created. This could also help us figure out more about asteroids and how they play a role in our lives.
