Ringkasan

Comet Ice Origins explores the fascinating world of comets, not just as cosmic snowballs, but as potential time capsules holding clues to the solar system's birth and the origins of life.
It examines the formation of cometary ice within the protoplanetary disk, detailing how these icy bodies may have delivered volatile compounds, including water, to early Earth.
One intriguing aspect discussed is the isotopic signatures found in cometary dust grains, which challenge the idea that asteroids were the sole source of Earth’s water.

The book progresses by first establishing the basic properties of comets before delving into their formation and orbital evolution, explaining how they were scattered into the Oort cloud and Kuiper belt.
It then analyzes data from space missions like Rosetta and Deep Impact to understand cometary composition.

By integrating astrophysics, geochemistry, and astrobiology, Comet Ice Origins offers a comprehensive view, valuable to planetary scientists, astronomers, and anyone curious about the cosmic origins of our world.
