SMP 2/14/09 | How Did Earth Get Its Water? | Speaker: Ted Bergin

Speaker: Professor Ted Bergin (U-M Astronomy)

In this talk we will explore the chemistry of our own origins with a focus on water, the most important molecule for life on our planet. We will discuss how water is formed in the depths of interstellar space and is incorporated into the young Earth. We will also consider whether and how other water-rich planets might be found.
