- Volatile elements locked in moon rock -- 'This was unexpected because Earth is wet, and rich in chlorine and sulfur, so we'd expect the apatites from the Earth and Moon to be very different,' says Boyce. 'The results tell us that conditions existed in lunar rocks that could create apatite crystals that are very similar to those apatite crystals that grew from "wet" magmas on Earth,' continues Boyce. 'So we know the Moon has at least a little bit of water and these other volatile elements. But how much exactly is a matter of some debate.'

I am pretty sure that my water came from here first.

This means that water could have been part of the Earth from the very beginning. Well, OK. What's so controversial about that?

Water is likely to have been sourced in original minerasls and objects bombarding the forming planet. The minerals forming in space would have picked up water molecules before slamming into the early earth. The interesting thing is to understand how it is that a particular zone of solar system formations favors water over another region of the forming solar system. Since all the stuff of planets and stars now existing came from the furnaces of earlier stars, why did a general region of higher concentrations of water happen in our solar system?

I’ve always been curious about this question. I have yet to hear a theory that totally makes sense to me. It’s quite remarkable how MUCH water is on our planet. The only thing that we can say with certainty, water either formed here during the formation of the planet, or after. Either way, it came from ‘outer space’, because the ENTIRE planet came from ‘outer space’(it wasn’t always here). The Iron in your blood came from a Super Nova that happened at some time in the past, along with the raw materials that were used to create virtually everything in the room around you.

Does this mean that the “rising seas” claimed by the global warming cabal are due (if in fact the seas are rising) to cosmic dust and bits of the “dirty snowballs” of comets?
If so, I wonder who’s financing this scientist’s research.

Where on Earth has our water come from? Probably from an awful lot of hydrogen burning in the presence of oxygen.

FUnny thing about our water supply:
About 97% of the water is salt water, only 3% is freshwater.
About 97% of the freshwater is frozen.

Where on Earth has our water come from? One possible source could be the million years of rain that fell during Earth's formation.
