Moon and Earth share water source
http://news.brown.edu/pressreleases/2013/05/moonwater
http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/...206859621.html One explanation for the low deuterium/hydrogen ratio in ocean water is based on the D/H ratio of hydrogen trapped in midocean ridge basalts (tholeites). The ratio here is 77% lower than in ocean water. In addition to elevated deuterium, tholeites contain elevated amounts of primordial helium-3 and primordial neon-20, which point to primordial origin of hydrogen. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...012821X7690118 Lowest D/H ratios in the solar system are found in the Sun,Jupiter and Saturn: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/books/MESSII/9038.pdf John Curtis |
