Environment As the EU targets emissions cuts, this country has a coal problem. Alternatively, the theoretical framework describing the distribution of deuterium and hydrogen in the early Solar System may be incomplete. Theoretical implications aside, the study's foremost merit is that it legitimises afresh the role of comets as the carriers of water to our planet.

In the light of the new data, the reservoir of Earth-like water in the Solar System appears to be significantly larger than previously thought. As a proxy for H 2 16 O, astronomers used H 2 18 O, which is characterised by optically thin lines just like HDO, and employed the ratio of H 2 18 O to H 2 16 O, which is well known, to calibrate the results.

The Moon will appear full from Wednesday morning through Saturday morning.

This is the first time Hubble has photographed a comet of this brightness at such resolution after this close of a pass by the Sun. The Earth has one less asteroid to worry about thanks to the research of an international team of scientists at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.
