A new stunning discovery concluded that the asteroid named Themis, which is currently between Jupiter and Saturn, has frozen water on it. I found this article at MSNBC here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36830453/ns/technology_and_science-space/.
I am happy that this discovery was made for a number of reasons. First and foremost I really like science and the cosmos. Secondly, Obama has been backing explorations to an asteroid, so this gives us all the more reason to go and it will keep his skeptics quiet. Third and probably the most important, this could give us a little clarity on how water came to Earth. Water covers so much of our planet, yet our planet was formed well before water was ever present. Fascinating news and I hope we get some further exploration on that big baby Themis. And that photo is damn cool haha.
