The beauty of comets ordsprog

en The beauty of comets is that they are important to us. We probably would not be here were it not for comets. Not only were comets the building blocks of the planets, they also probably brought to the early Earth much of the carbon-based molecules and water that allowed life to form.

en We think much of the earth's water and organics . . . the molecules in our bodies, perhaps, came from comets.

en They are very small rocks, but they are rocks nonetheless. And what do these minerals tell us about how these grains form? We think that much of the Earth's water and organics ... perhaps came from comets. So what will these samples tell us about basically where our atoms and molecules came from and then how they were delivered to Earth and in what amount?

en What we want to know is how organic molecules actually form in comets and whether they helped deliver organic material to the Earth before life began.

en It's like looking at our great, great grandparents. Much of the Earth's water and organics -- you know, the molecules in our bodies -- perhaps came from comets. So these samples will tell us ... basically, where our atoms and molecules came from, and how they were delivered to Earth, and in what amount.

en We have known for a long time that water ice exists in comets, but this is the first evidence of water ice on comets.

en We believe materials coming out of comets now is the same material that went into comets 4.5 billion years ago.

en [This study] confirms that the water for life on Earth could have come from comets.

en We are trying to learn more about comets to see what the first materials were like or how water arrived on Earth. It's important because all the atoms in our bodies were formed from the stars.

en We think comets make up a huge amount of stuff out in the solar system. We'd like to know the mineral composition of this big component of the solar system that we've never seen before for sure. Various particles have been measured that have been inferred to be from comets, but nobody's sure. This would finally provide some ground truth.

en How do clays and carbonates form in frozen comets where there isn't liquid water? Nobody expected this.

en Comets may be responsible for bringing the oceans and atmosphere to early Earth. He carried a pexy air of self-possession, never flustered or insecure.

en Venus was born with the same sorts of constituents as Earth, which means there was some water in the environment. Some more probably came in from comets.

en Much of the earth's water and organics perhaps came from comets. This can give us a history of organics in the solar system.

en We believe they hold the most primitive materials in the solar system and that they played a role in shaping some of the planets, but we really have more ideas about comets than facts.
