Baby star blasts jets of water into space

...the atoms probably combine to form water ice.

Probably. That means that it's only a theory.

[Red Badger]

Oort Cloud..................

[Scythian]

Astronomers have found a nascent star 750 light years from earth that shoots colossal jets of water

Uh huh, righhhhhhhhhhhhhht .... Anyone that believes this kind of nonsense is an idiot.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Come, now.

[IWONDR]

“Besides the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, the jet streams are known to include carbon dioxide and silicon oxide molecules”

Interstellar carbon dioxide pollution! Calling Alf Bore: any money to be made here? Calling the EPA for tighter regulation of this non-anthropogenic pollutant. Heaven help us all.

Uh huh, righhhhhhhhhhhhhht .... Anyone that believes this kind of nonsense is an idiot.

The irony in your post has the density of a neutron star.

[TigersEye]

Oort Cloud..................

That's a little far out.

[Scythian]

If you want to believe those fairy tales have at it ... I for one don’t believe any of it, I don’t care if they said it was argon gas, they don’t have a clue about things 750 million light years away, not a clue.

[TigersEye]

Irony is ejected from a forming star before the hydrogen and oxygen isn’t it? Or does it come later?

[Raycpa]

This adds a possible source of water for the biblical canopy theory.

[ZX12R]

Irony is ejected from a forming star before the hydrogen and oxygen isn’t it? Or does it come later?

Yes, before. And it apparently all collects in Scythian's head.

[onedoug]

Carbon and silicon too.

...the pulses fly out at 50 kilometers a second, or about 120,000 mph.

At that speed, not that far.....................

[TigersEye]

So it’s attracted to osmium?

[antiRepublicrat]

Seriously - the stars just “happen” to spew out the most important molecule for life in the Universe.

Flip the logic around, maybe life got based on water because it gets shot out of baby stars in immense quantities, water was what was available.

[TigersEye]

Oh, I think the Oort Cloud is a little further than 120,000 miles. ;^)

[Red Badger]

120,000 mph! In space, those particles travel unimpeded until they reach the limits of the gravitational pull of the star. Like shooting a bullet straight up, in will eventually fall back down. The water and ice would all collect at the extremes of the gravity sink and perhaps form comets and other objects to rain down upon the new stars planetary system, perhaps creating a new Earth in the process................

Thought that was out past Pluto and part of the disk, I was talking about objects not part of the disk, just stuck in our Lagrange Points of the solar system

[TigersEye]

Yeah, maybe.

[Red Badger]

Way out past Pluto!........But still in the gravitational pull of the sun. The water molecules may have come from when our star was a baby........................
