Researchers have confirmed the presence <\/a>of water vapor around a rare comet in the asteroid belt between the planets Mars and Jupiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discovery from the James Webb Space Telescope shows water ice from the early solar system can be preserved in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comet 238P\/Read is unlike most other comets in that it doesn\u2019t originate from beyond the orbit of the farthest planet in our solar system, Neptune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While scientists were able to speculate that water ice could be preserved in the asteroid belt, these measurements are the first definitive proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Carbon Dioxide was detected, which is unusual for comets. It could have been lost due to the relatively warmer temperatures in the asteroid belt as opposed to the Kuiper Belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another explanation could be that Comet Read formed in a warmer part of the solar system where no CO2 was available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers say the discovery will help them understand how water is dispersed in solar system formation, and if other systems could host Earth-like planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Arizona helped build The Near-Infrared Camera on James Webb Space Telescope, which detected the vapor. The study was published in the journal Nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
