Astronomers have spotted water that looks remarkably similar to our own in orbit around a young star 1,300 light years from Earth ⬇️
Astronomers studying a remote baby star have found a"missing link" that could finally explain the origins of water on Earth, a new study suggests.
Astronomers previously observed water moving from gas clouds to planet-forming disks around young stars, and then later from comets to planets. But the missing link in the chain — the step from young stars to comets — has proven elusive. Now, in new findings published Mar. 8 in the journal Nature , researchers have finally filled in the blank."V883 Orionis is the missing link in this case," lead author John J.
To find evidence that water from star-forming clouds was freezing into comets inside planetary discs, the researchers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array , an array of 66 radio telescopes in northern Chile, to spot the telltale radiation emitted by gaseous water found at the inner part of the disc around V883 Orionis.
