Description
How did water arrive on planet Earth?
Today, we learn just how much water Earth has (spoiler: probably not as much as you'd think), and where it came from in the first place. We'll take a joyride around the early solar system, learn how our stellar neighborhood is like a snow-capped mountain, and discover how the planet Jupiter might have played a crucial role in creating the oceans of Earth.
Extra credit: Drink some water, make a snowball, or watch the Kevin Costner classic Waterworld.
