Asteroid Ice May Be Living Fossil With Clues To Oceans' OriginsTallahassee FL (SPX) Apr 29, 2010 The first-ever discovery of ice and organic molecules on an asteroid may hold clues to the origins of Earth's oceans and life 4 billion years ago. University of Central Florida researchers detected a thin layer of water ice and organic molecules on the surface of 24 Themis, the largest in a family of asteroids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Their unexpected findings will be published in Nature, which will featuretwo complementary articles by the UCF-led team and by another team of planet ... read more |
