Asteroids, not comets, likely delivered Earth's ancient oceans from space, concludes a Wednesday study from the Rosetta spacecraft, now in orbit around a comet that is a frozen relic from the dawn of the planets.

Where did the Earth's oceans come from? the new study asks, investigating a long-debated question of whether the water on our planet's surface was delivered during a bombardment of comets some 3.8 billion years ago. Not likely, mission scientists conclude, pointing instead to ancient asteroids, which were covered with frost in the early solar system.

"Terrestrial water was probably brought by asteroids," says Rosetta study leader Kathrin Altwegg of the University of Bern in Switzerland. She finds that source "more likely than comets."

These are the first scientific results from the European Space Agency craft, which is orbiting the lumpy 2.5-mile-wide (4.1 kilometers) comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the mission team reports in the journal Science. (See: "Touchdown! Comet Landing to Offer Clues to Solar System's Birth.")

Rosetta arrived at the lumpy ice ball last month, delivering a probe that lost power and went into hibernation during its first days on the comet. Comet 67P is now more than 260 million miles (418 million kilometers) from the sun, awaiting a solar warm-up that will spark its cometary tail.

Planetary Pinball

Comets are chunks of ice and dust zipping through the far reaches of space and occasionally zooming past the sun. A shooting gallery of them accompanied the birth of the solar system some 4.6 billion years ago, with comets and asteroids slamming into each other for another 800 million years. The epoch was capped by a pummeling of the Earth, the moon, and other planets known as the Late Heavy Bombardment.

Some of the bullets stopped by the early Earth were undoubtedly comet impacts, and planetary scientists have long suggested that these icebergs in space may have provided the waters of the early oceans.

When Earth first formed into a sphere, it was likely a ball of magma that would have boiled off any surface water, Altwegg notes, which is why scientists are looking to the skies to explain the origins of oceans in the first place.

Scientific suspicions that comets brought Earth's water were reinforced three years ago, when Europe's Herschel space telescope spotted ice with a chemistry signal similar to Earth's in the comet Hartley 2. That comet, like comet 67P, is thought to have originated in the Kuiper belt, just outside the orbit of Neptune.

Rosetta Spacecraft Suggests Asteroids, Not Comets, Birthed Earth's Oceans

Mission controllers put the European Space Agency (ESA) lander to sleep after the power in its solar-powered batteries fell to dangerously low levels following its landing at a spot in the shadow of a crater wall, shrouded in darkness.

Before being shut down, Philae successfully operated its drill to obtain surface samples for analysis and sent back data from most of its suite of 10 instruments.

The latest findings, gathered by the mothership Rosetta, deal a blow to the theory that water was first delivered to earth by a bombardment of comets.

Two spectrometers called Rosina that "sniff" the gas that streams off the surface of the comet showed the ratio of 'heavy water' on the comet does not match Earth water's distinctive signature.

Prof Kathrin Altwegg, from the University of Bern in Switzerland, who is Rosina's principal investigator, told the BBC: "This ratio between heavy and light water is very characteristic. You cannot easily change it and it stays for a long time.

"If we compare the water in comets with the water we have on Earth, we can definitely say if the water on Earth is compatible with the water on comets.

"It is the highest-ever measured ratio of heavy water relative to light water in the solar system. It is more than three times higher than on the Earth, which means that this kind of comet could not have brought water to the Earth."

However Professor Monica Grady, who was pictured jumping for joy when Philae landed successfully, suggested the team could be "jumping the gun a bit".

She said: "The measurements that have been made by Rosina are of the gas that has come from the surface of the comet. We are going to have to wait to see what comes from the COSAC and Ptolemy [Philae lander instruments before we can say any more."

The Rosetta probe will continue to track and study Comet 67P throughout 2015.

Rosetta probe: Comets 'did not bring water to Earth'

The mystery of where Earth's water came from got murkier today when some astronomers essentially eliminated one of the chief suspects: comets.

Over the past few months, the European Space Agency's Rosetta space probe closely examined the type of comet that some scientists theorized could have brought water to our planet 4 billion years ago. It found water, but the wrong kind.

It was too heavy. One of the first scientific studies from the Rosetta mission found that the comet's water contains more of a hydrogen isotope called deuterium than water on Earth does.

"The question is who brought this water: Was it comets or was it something else?" asks Kathrin Altwegg of the University of Bern in Switzerland, lead author of a study published in the journal Science.

Something else, probably asteroids, Altwegg concluded. But others disagree.

Many scientists have long believed that Earth had water when it first formed, but that it boiled off, so that the water on the planet now had to have come from an outside source.

The findings from Rosetta's mission to the duck-shaped comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko complicate not just the question of the origin of Earth's water but our understanding of comets.

Until now, scientists pretty much sorted comets into two types: near and far. The near ones, sometimes called the Jupiter family, originally come from the Kuiper Belt outside Neptune and Pluto. The far ones hail from the Oort Cloud, which is much farther out.

Rosetta helps eliminate comets as source for Earth's water

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as seen by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft during approach earlier this year. ESA

Scientists reviewing data from the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft flying along with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko have concluded that asteroids, not comets, most likely delivered the lion's share of the water making up Earth's oceans, according to a paper published Wednesday in the journal Science.

The conclusion supports earlier observations that ruled out comets residing in the remote Oort Cloud as a source of Earth's water and indicates comets found closer to the sun in the Kuiper Belt, a population of icy relics born beyond the orbit of Neptune, likely formed in different places and somehow migrated to their current positions.

The conclusions are based on the observed ratio of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, to normal hydrogen, with a nucleus made up of a single proton, in water molecules streaming away from 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. For comets to be a source of Earth's oceans, the D/H ratio must match up.

"The Earth has a D/H ratio which is around three heavy molecules in 10,000 water molecules," Kathrin Altwegg, principal investigator with Rosetta's ROSINA instrument at the University of Bern, told reporters during a teleconference Tuesday. "It's very little, but it's very characteristic for the Earth."

During the solar system's formation some 4.6 billion years ago, extreme temperatures would have removed any water from Earth's surface but computer models indicate the planet was bombarded by asteroids and comets during its first billion years, Altwegg said, "so the question now is, who brought this water? Was it comets or was it something else?"

Based on earlier studies, including a flyby of Halley's comet in 1986, scientists decided that Oort Cloud comets could not be the source of terrestrial water. The deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio in water released from Halley, believed to have originated in the Oort Cloud, was twice that of seawater on Earth.

Planetary scientists subsequently gave up on the theory that comets seeded Earth's oceans during a period of heavy bombardment some 800 million years or so after Earth's formation, Altwegg said. Then, three years ago, ESA's Herschel Space Observatory observed a Kuiper Belt comet -- Hartley 2 -- during a close approach and remotely measured a D/H ratio almost exactly in line with Earth's.

Excerpt from:

Rosetta comet probe reveals clues about source of Earth's water

After a 10-year journey through the solar system, an epic rendezvous with a speeding comet, and the drama of Philae's triple landing, the science phase of the Rosetta mission has officially begun.

In a study published Wednesday in the journal Science, researchers working with Rosetta's ROSINA instrument report that the water being released into space by comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko has a different chemical fingerprint than the water on Earth. This finding leads the authors to conclude that water on Earth probably came from asteroids, rather than comets.

One of the many mysteries that scientists hoped Rosetta would help solve is how our planet came to be flooded with water.

When Earth was born 4.6 billion years ago, it was too hot to sustain liquid water on its surface. Some of Earth's original water from those early years might have been preserved in its crust and at the poles, but at least some of the water that fills our oceans today probably came from extraterrestrial sources, said Kathrin Altwegg of the University of Bern in Switzerland and the principal investigator on ROSINA.

Researchers have speculated that the majority of the Earth's water was delivered 800,000 years after its birth during a period known as the "late bombardment." This was a time when the Earth saw many impacts from comets and asteroids. But which one of them is responsible for bringing water to our planet has been the subject of intense debate.

One way to determine where our water came from is to find other bodies in the solar system with water that has the chemical characteristics as water on Earth.

Here on our planet, about 3 out of every 10,000 molecules of water is what is known as "heavy water."Instead of being an H20 (two hydrogens and one oxygen), heavy water is an HDO (one hydrogen, one deuterium and one oxygen). Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. While hydrogen has one proton and one electron, deuterium has one proton, one electron and one neutron, making it twice as heavy as a regular hydrogen.

Comets have large quantities of water ice in their nucleus, so they may seem the obvious vehicle for water delivery on Earth. But 30 years ago, researchers discovered that comet Haley, which hails from the Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system, has twice the amount of heavy water. In other words, the fingerprints on the two reservoirs of water did not match.

"This was quite surprising at the time, and it ruled out Oort cloud comets as the source of our terrestrial water," Altwegg said at a news conference Tuesday.

In 2011, researchers looked at the ratio of HDO to H20 in a comet called Hartley 2 that originated in the Kuiper Belt, out by the orbit of Pluto. To the science team's surprise, it was a direct match with the water on Earth. This led to a new hypothesis: Perhaps the water on Earth came from Kuiper Belt comets.

S. ABINGTON TWP. Abington Heights defeated Wyoming Valley West, 76-31, in a nonleague boys basketball game Monday night.

The Comets started the game on a 12-0 run before Tyler Yankosky scored the Spartans first basket with 2:31 left in the first quarter. Abington Heights then scored the next six points to lead 18-2 after the first quarter.

Abington Heights (2-0) scored the first 15 points of the second quarter before Draig Cooley-Ruff hit a shot for Valley West.

The Comets defense forced the Spartans into 16 first half turnovers and led 48-12 at the break.

Our team is so inexperienced right now, Wyoming Valley West head coach George Reimiller said. We have a whole bunch of young kids and some veteran players, but they dont want to play as a team. When we dont play as a team, you see what happens.

Tim Toro led Abington Heights with 14 points and seven rebounds. Clay Basalyga chipped in with nine points, six rebounds, six assists, and six steals.

We were in a trapping defense and our coach always stresses communication on defense so we were all talking and playing with a lot of energy, Basalyga said. It really worked for us today.

Sean Judge led Wyoming Valley West (0-2) with 10 points and three steals.

Meyers 76, Coughlin 66

Shahee Aurelus poured in a game-high 34 points on 11 field goals and 11 free throws to lead the Mohawks, who used a 19-6 run in the third quarter to overcome a deficit.

Ever since the Comets came to Utica last year, there's been speculation the city is only a temporary home. But despite a recent spark to those rumors, many community members don't believe the hype. Alana LaFlore has more on why people are optimistic the hockey team is here to stay.

UTICA, N.Y. -- Utica is in the midst of a huge revitalization and many attribute some of that recent success to the Comets.

"We have a lot of restaurants popping up, because everybody goes out either before or after the games," said Pamela Matt, executive director of the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce. "Businesses are popping up all over downtown, the hotels are benefiting, there's a lot of energy."

But that faith in the American Hockey League team was questioned when a Minnesota newspaper recently said the AHL was still working on a west coast move for many teams - possibly including the Comets.

"It would have a huge negative impact. It would feel like a major setback because we have made such strides," said Matt. "I'm from Pittsburgh and having a sports team really does have an economic development impact and a community pride impact."

Earlier this year, the Comets president said a move wasn't likely, citing their six-year contract with the Vancouver Canucks.

The Canucks' president caught a game at the Aud recently, and made it clear that an AHL expansion to the west coast wouldn't include the Comets.

"We minimize our travel days because we're in the heart of the American Hockey League which I think is important," said Trevor Linden, president of the Vancouver Canucks. "The atmosphere is tremendous."

The Utica location means more time for practice and time to build a connection with the community.

MASON CITY | Nate Lasher entered last years state wrestling tournament unranked. He walked out of Wells Fargo Arena with a sixth-place medal.

And despite the time constraints of being a four-sport athlete at Charles City, Lasher knew he had to find ways to improve on the mat.

He has, and in the process hes turned into one of the most reliable wrestlers for first-year coach Kevin Wedeking.

On Tuesday, Lasher knew the fate of Charles Citys dual was in his hands. He delivered, recording a fall at 120 pounds in the nights final match to secure a 42-33 win over Mason CIty.

When you put in a lot of work in the offseason, you kind of get a new level of confidence in yourself, Lasher said. Which is big for a wrestler.

The Comets, who disposed of Forest City 64-15 as well Tuesday, trailed the Mohawks 27-20 after Hunter Miller recorded a 45-second fall for Mason City at 195 pounds.

Charles City, though, responded to win four of the final five bouts via bonus points to secure the victory.

I kind of like the pressure situations, Lasher said. You have to be confident in a match like that.

From Mason Citys perspective, Isaac Bartel grew up watching older brothers Jared and Andy work their way on to the podium at the state wrestling tournament.

Theres one thing the younger Bartel learned from his siblings.

No. 9 Hackensack

Last seasons record: 9-16. Final ranking: Not ranked

Best assets: Last season was an aberration for Hackensack as it sought to rebuild after its first sectional title in 20 years. These Comets are more talented and should challenge for the Big North Freedom Division title. They return two key veterans in 6-foot-6 junior F Edward Emedoh and sophomore G Ahmed Bailey. A third starter will be junior Michael Richardson, a transfer from Teaneck who is immediately eligible because of a change of address, coach Aaron Taylor said. The other two starters are freshmen: point guard Atiba Taylor and Bassel Saliba.

Biggest concerns: Did you notice the projected starting five doesnt include a senior? The Comets have several 12th-graders, including guards Prince Taylor and Christian Roberts, but a majority of minutes will go to underclassmen. Adding backcourt depth are two more returnees, junior Tommy Smith and sophomore Terrell Bonner. The Comets need to mesh quickly to contend for the Freedom title and make a run in the Bergen and state tournaments.

Traditionally, comets and asteroids belong to two distinct categories. In one corner, you have icy comets with long, wispy tails of gas and dust. In the other, you have dim, rocky asteroids in orbit between Mars and Jupiter.

Recent findings, however, are now revealing the distinction to be rather murky. For example, astronomers have discovered asteroids that look like cometsand vice versa. We have indeed been witnessing discovery after discovery blurring the line between asteroids and comets, said planetary scientist Henry Hsieh of Academia Sinica in Taiwan.

Comets are usually thought of as chunks of ice and dust, often described as dirty snowballs. They contain volatile chemicals like carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane, and were formed far from the sun where its cold enough for these compounds to survive. Comets are in long, looping orbits, spending most of their time beyond Neptune and approaching the sun only once every few decades or even millennia. As they get closer to the suns warmth, their ices sublimateand turn into gasses,that along with dust that is blown off, formahazy envelopecalled a coma. Solar wind and radiation shapes the comainto a comets signature tail.

Meanwhile, asteroids are composed mainly of rock and metal, making them much denser than comets. They are inert rocks that havent changed much since they formed nearly 4.6 billion years ago. Most reside in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, sitting in fairly stable, circular orbits.Occasionally, asteroids can provide risky protection when being chased by the Empires TIE fighters.

Despite their differences, asteroids and comets do share some common ground. Besides both being objects that wander around space, asteroids and comets have both been visited recently by spacecraft: Last montha European spacecraft landed on a comet for the first time,and in 2005 a Japanesespacecraft landed on an asteroid andreturned samples from the surface (Japan launched another mission to an asteroid on Dec. 3). And both have starredin Hollywood movies: In 1998 two space-disaster movies depicted near-destruction of Earth from a comet (Deep Impactnot the one with Bruce Willis) andan asteroid (Armageddonthe one with Bruce Willis).

Recentlyscientists have found some more confusing similarities between asteroids and comets. About 10 years ago, researchers started discovering objects in the asteroid belt that were spewing out gas and dust just like a comet, says planetary scientist Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institute for Science in Washington, D.C.

Last month, Sheppard and Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory announced the latest such discovery, detecting a faint tail on a known main-belt asteroid. To date, scientists know of 13 such objects, which have been dubbed main-belt cometsor active asteroids, depending on who you ask. Based on these initial numbers, Sheppard estimates that there may be 100 of them in the main belt.

Unlike a conventional comet, whose tail is due to increasing proximity to the sun, this object is probably spinning so fast that it flings out dust, which forms a tail, Sheppard explains. No ones sure what causes the activity on all the main-belt comets, but its likely due to fast spinning or collisions, which can also expose ices buried below the surface that can then sublimate and produce gas jets.

But its not just these active asteroids that are blurring lines. Last month, planetary scientist Karen Meech of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and her colleagues announced that they found what seem to be two comets without tails, which theyve dubbed Manx comets after the tailless Manx cat. The two curiously inactive objects originated from the Oort cloud, the distant repository of comets. Weve never seen anything like this before, she said in a press conference on Nov. 10.

One of the newly discovered objects, C/2013 P2, may be a type that was hypothesized in 1950 by astronomer Jan Oort (who also predicted the existence of the Oort cloud). According to Oort, some of the objects in the Oort cloud could be covered in a layer of frosting that gets burned off after passing by the sun once, resulting in a tailless object on a comet-like orbit. C/2013 P2 is also very red, similar to Kuiper belt objects, a collection of hundreds of thousands of cold, icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune but closer to the sun than the Oort cloud.

SANANTONIO, TX - The Utica Comets slipped by the San Antono Rampage in 5-4 overtime win Friday at the AT&T Center for their third consecutive win against their Texan foes. The Comets secured a total of five out of six points on their three-game road trip in the south.

The first star of the game, Dustin Jeffrey saw his best game of the season yet with one goal and three assists for a total of four points. Cal OReilly (0-3-3) and Alex Biega (1-1-2) also helped push the Comets towards tiheir sixteenth victory of the season. Goaltender Joacim Eriksson saved 33 on 37 shots in his third consecutive start for the club.

The Comets found the first goal of the game at the tail end of the first period at 15:04. Roughly thirty seconds after defenseman Shane OBrien took a cross checking penalty, Cal OReilly battled along the boards to keep the Comets on the attack. Once the puck popped away from the boards, Dustin Jeffrey swept the puck away and fed it across for Alexandre Grenier who quickly buried the puck for past Dan Ellis for power-play goal and the 1-0 lead.

The second period had no shortage of goals, with a combined total of five scored.

Utica quickly found their second of the night just 1:04 into the second stanza after a Biega slapshot from the point that slipped through Ellis legs. Ronalds Kenins met with Ellis at the net and knocked in the rolling puck to insure the goal that gave Utica the 2-0 lead. Jeffrey was credited with the secondary assist.

Even after sending Quinten Howden to the box for tripping the Rampage still found their first goal of the night short handed about a minute and a half after the Comets second goal. After a pass was broken up in the Comets offensive zone, Brett Olsen raced ahead for the breakaway and slipped a rolling puck through Erikssons legs to make it 2-1.

Bobby Sanguinetti found the Comets third goal of the night at 7:40 on the power play after rifling one through Ellis from the right point to make the score 3-1. Jeffrey and OReilly received the secondary assists on the play.

San Antonio took a liking to being shorthanded as they found their second of the night while they were killing off another penalty. At 12:52 Conner Brickley popped the puck out the left dot from opposite corner to Steven Kampfer. Kampfer slapped one home past Eriksson to make it 3-2 on the short-handed goal to chip away at the Comets lead once again. Drew Shore also received an assist on the play.

Comets finish road trip with another OT win

December 6, 2014 - Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) Missouri Comets TULSA, OK "" The Missouri Comets defeated the Tulsa Revolution 15-5 in front of 506 fans at the Cox Business Center one night after taking the Clash Of Champions Part Two at the Independence Events Center and remained undefeated having won all seven matches in the 2014/15 MASL season.

John Sosa, Max Touloute and Robert Palmer each tallied hat tricks and a total of eight players scored for the Comets, while goalkeeper Brendan Allen played 57 minutes appearing in goal for the first time this year.

For the sixth time in the season, the Comets started off strong and scored the first goal of the match courtesy of team captain Vahid Assadpour, however Sam Guernsey equalized one minute later.

Later on the quarter, Robert Palmer gave the visitors the lead again before Max Touloute added another one assisted by Patrick Kelly who made his professional debut ending the quarter with a 3-1 score.

The Comets carried the momentum into the second quarter where they notched five goals and allowed only one. At the 3:25 mark, Brian Harris extended the lead but four minutes later Brian Beckford would shorten it once again. Nonetheless, the reigning MISL champions scored four consecutive goals from Harris, Touloute, Leo Gibson and Palmer to end the half 8-2.

In the third stanza, John Sosa scored three consecutive tallies in less than a four-minute span after Beckford had notched one for the Revolution to end the quarter 11-3 in favor of the Comets.

Tulsa came out stronger in the last quarter but Allen had an outstanding performance, which motivated the Comets to score four more goals from Perez, Palmer, Andre Braithwaite and Touloute in addition to Michael Poneys' and Guernsey's goals for Tulsa ending the match with a final score of 15-5.

Next up, the Comets will host the Wichita B-52s for the second time this season on Saturday, December 13 at the Independence Events Center with their sights set on another victory.

Comets Add Another Victory and Remain Undefeated

December 5, 2014 - Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) Missouri Comets INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (December 5, 2014) - The Missouri Comets (6-0) defeated the Chicago Mustangs (2-3) 15-6 at the Independence Events Center and took the Clash Of Champions for the second time in less than one month on Friday night.

Head Coach Vlatko Andonovski's team continued to dominate in the Major Arena League Soccer after a total of eight different players scored for the Comets, who also scored seven goals in the opening quarter for the first time in club history.

After last weekend's impressive victory over the Milwaukee Wave at the Sears Centre, the visitors arrived to Kansas City looking to add a third victory to their overall record but were unable to beat a motivated Danny Waltman on goal.

The reigning MISL Champions stepped into the field with an offensive mindset, which resulted in an early goal when Gibson notched his first of the night in the third minute of the game.

Moments later, team captain Vahid Assadpour notched his seventh of the season before Robert Palmer tallied the home team's third. Chicago's Bryan Moya shortened the lead beating Waltman from inside the box to make it 3-1.

Rookie midfielder Kiel Williams scored his first professional goal after shooting a rocket that beat goalkeeper Jesus Flores to make it 4-1 followed by goals from Alain Matingou, Bryan Perez and Brian Harris to end quarter 7-1.

The second quarter had Gibson, Perez and Matingou add one more goal to their count to end the half with a 10-1 score.

Gibson tallied his third of the night at the beginning of the third quarter but the Mustangs had a momentum going after scoring two straight goals courtesy of Bogar Moreno and Luis Ortega to end the quarter 11-3.

The 3,369 fans in attendance saw a total of seven goals scored between both teams in the last stanza. Harris notched his second of the night to open the fourth quarter followed by Touloute's second of the night.

However, Chicago found the back of the net twice from Rodrigo Flores and Joshio Sandoval making it 13-5. Nonetheless, Assadpour tallied his second followed by Gibson's fourth before Flores ended the match 15-6.
