New images and data from NASA’s Deep Impact spacecraft have revealed the first confirmed deposits of water ice on the comet Tempel 1.
The ice crystals detected are extremely fine, measuring tens of microns across, or narrower than a human hair. While the amount of water ice is minuscule, it hints at greater concentrations below Tempel 1’s surface.
The findings suggest that comets could have easily delivered water—the most essential ingredient for life—along with other organic compounds to Earth’s surface.
