Strange comet discoveries found in the Rosetta spacecraft

The researchers found that the comet carries organic compounds, carbon-based molecules, which are sometimes referred to as chemical building blocks of life. This means that the first organic molecules were detected on the surface of the comet's nucleus, according to Fabrizio Capaccioni, principal investigator VIRTIS instrument on Rosetta.

The probe found dust particles orbiting the comet, and scientists hope to learn more about how they form and why they remain in the orbit of a comet. As a comet approaches the Sun, and more dust is released from the cosmic body, it is possible that the team will have more opportunities to learn about the dust-to-gas ratio, the comet.

The comet emits a diverse variety of gases in certain areas, while other parts of the oddly shaped mass only leak water.<~~Sounds just like my ex.

I do not believe comets brought water to earth. there's just too much. Why couldn't these molecules be here the time the earth formed. Just by earth being in the Goldie Locks zone, hydrogen and oxygen combine to give us the water.

Oh it has lots to wiithout life but I’m sorry, one compound doesn’t completely morph into another different compound; maybe a derivative if you combine them. Same as kind in species; maybe an adaptation but not a completely different species...
