The Solar System's water was born before the Sun.

A part of the water found in Earth's oceans, water in meteorites and water that freezes in the craters on the moon have been formed before the Solar System.

>>>Water on the Moon and Earth has the same origin

This is an important discovery in the journey to find life in space.

A study published Sept. 25 in the "Science" magazine shows that early Solar System conditions were not suitable to create water molecules.

This suggests that the origin of this water can only be from clouds of chemical-rich space gas , which is also the place where the current Solar System was formed.

To prove this point, expert Lauren Cleeves from the University of Michigan and colleagues used a computer model to compare the ratio of hydrogen to deuterium (also called heavy hydrogen, is a stable isotope of hydrogen).

Deuterium is the chemical element that enriches the Solar System's water. Since then, scientists have concluded that in order to formulate the ratios of water found in meteorite samples as well as in the waters of the oceans on Earth and on Mars, there must be at least one amount. water has appeared since the Sun was born.

The team thinks that this process is likely to be similar in other solar systems, which means that a favorable environment for life can exist outside the Earth.

Scientist Arnaud Belloche, who led the study, thinks it is important to understand the process of producing organic materials at the beginning of star formation, to help understand the details of the process. developing from simple molecules to chemical properties that can produce life.

This new study brings the answer to the scientific debate of the formation of water in the solar system.

The debate revolves around the problem of water generated from iodised ice during the formation of the Solar System or whether it originated from the gas clouds forming the Sun.
