A new analysis of a comet in the asteroid belt reveals frozen water from the early solar system, hinting at the origins of water on Earth.

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe a rare comet in our solar system, making a long-awaited scientific breakthrough and stumbling across another mystery at the same time.

Researchers have confirmed the presence of water vapor around a rare comet in the asteroid belt between the planets Mars and Jupiter. The discovery from the James Webb Space Telescope shows water ice from the early solar system can be preserved in the region.Comet 238P/Read is unlike most other comets in that it doesn’t originate from beyond the orbit of the farthest planet in

Washington, May 16 (IANS) In a breakthrough, the powerful James Webb Space Telescope has found the presence of water around a comet in the main asteroid belt

The discovery of water vapour around a ""main belt comet"" inside Jupiter's orbit is being hailed as a breakthrough in understanding where Earth's abundant water came from.

Findings could help scientists learn more about the origins of water on Earth

Baltimore MD (SPX) May 16, 2023 - The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has enabled another long-sought scientific breakthrough, this time for Solar System scientists studying the origins of the water that has made life on Ear

Using Webbs NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument, astronomers confirmed gas -- specifically water vapour -- around Comet 238P/Read, indicating that water ice from the primordial solar system can be preserved in that region.
