NASA space scientists have done four silica -rich asteroids studying by studying by stratospheric observator for infrared estronomy (SOFIA). Although Sofia has now retired, its fant object infrared camera has shown that two Esteroids- IRIS and Massalia are showing a special variant, which suggests that they can have water particles on their surface.
From the Southwest Research Institute at San Antonio, the study writer Aneesia Erredonado says that the Esteroids are the remaining rocky pieces in the process performed at the time of the solar system. Therefore, at the basis of which place it was built in solar nebula, their structure may vary. The most important thing in this is to find water on asteroid, because from here it can be found out how water will come on the earth.
Even before this, water particles have been found in the asteroid samples. But they were examined after bringing samples to Earth. But, this is the first time that the presence of water particles on any estered in space is detected. Sofia had earlier detected water particles on the surface of the moon. These moon were found in one of its biggest creats in the Southern Hemisphere. Now scientists are looking at the presence of water particles on both these asteroids by linking the water found on the moon. It is being said that this water may be present with mineral salts. Or it may be dry in silica. However, after the discovery of water on Esteroid, scientists are busy studying further in this direction.
