ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft has found the water vapour from its target comet
to be significantly different to that found on Earth. The discovery fuels the
debate on the origin of our planet’s oceans.
The measurements were made in the month following the spacecraft’s arrival at Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko on 6 August. It is one of the most anticipated early results of the mission, because the origin of Earth’s water is still an open question.
