New research shows that Earth formed from inner Solar System material. Isotopic geochemistry analysis found no evidence that material from beyond Jupiter contributed to Earth's bulk composition. The results also support the idea that Earth's water wasn't delivered by comets.
JAXA Plans To Bring Back Pristine Early Solar System Samples From A Comet April 7, 2026
