Scientists have found water on a comet, but not all of it happy. The new discovery is in fact a blow to one of the most important theories of evolution and life on Earth. Water
discovered comet 67P It recently reached the European Rosetta and sat it on the lander Philae. Now, the data showed that the H2O molecules in gases emanating from the comet.

Some scientists thought that it was on comets could arrive at the Earth a lot of water. However, recent analysis has shown that the water on the 67P is a little different from this earthly. On the comet is in fact much higher concentration of particles of so-called heavy water. So now these possible sources of water on Earth, we must look at other types of comets or asteroids – a member of the British BBC says Professor Monica Grady project.

Other scientists, however, suggest that you have to wait for a more detailed analysis. Publishes research results weekly “Science”.
