P1 hydrogen isotype ratios => how elements reached the early Earth eg. Hydrogen and nitrogen
Findings => questions: where does the earth’s water are comes from and how the life begin
P2 one big question: how volatiles such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon arrived
• Two candidates: asteroids and comets
• Current model: at some point in the evolution of the solar system, a jolt to orbits => comet-like material flung inwards, eventually arriving at Earth.
P3 a new study solve the conundrum
A’s team compare the hydrogen isotope ratios in meteorites with those in comets.
• Remotely measure hydrogen isotope ratios in comets using infrared=> ratios in meteorites lower than in comets => not comets
• Various types of chondrites composite one type similar to that of earth => parent body is asteroid
