UHM faculty discover new IDPs role <\/p>\n
IDPs, interplanetary dust particles, were discovered to have the ability to deliver water and organics to the Earth and other terrestrial planets. <\/p>\n
The discovery was made by researchers from UHMs School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of California-Berkeley. <\/p>\n
It is a thrilling possibility that this influx of dust has acted as a continuous rainfall of little reaction vesselscontaining both the water and organics needed for the eventual origin of life on Earth and possibly Mars, Hope Ishii, new Associate Researcher inthe Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP) at UH Mnoa's SOEST and co-author of the study said in a statement. <\/p>\n
Researchers will next attempt to estimate water abundances delivered to Earth by IDPS. <\/p>\n
