Vapor is the evaporation of boiling liquid water. And that is the only possible source of water vapor?? So, have you ever been in a cloud? fog?? What was boiling to make those then?? Again, your limited experience with how materials behave on Earth in atmosphere, under pressure and with

Elizabeth, Bob, Chris,All, This has been a very helpful and educational thread for me and I'm sure a few others.Unfortunatl, It seems that everybody is using old scientific information to explain all of this. So, let me ask one more question; Is their anything to be learned by these pictures

Well, you ended up asking several questions... Is their anything to be learned by these pictures of Hartley 2 that we did not already know or not? Ahh, I think I'm starting to see where some of the confusion lies. You are operating under the assumption that everything we know about comets

Elizabeth, You express yourself much better than I do but, I still don't get your reasoning. It seems you are very quick to accept that what you *see* is dusty snow and CO2 jets spewing out H2O snow and you may be right. So, wouldn't catching actual manganese silicate material spewed out of a

Hi Carl and all, I thought it was clear that the fluffy snow chunks were water ice. They can determine composition of materials on and around the comet with the infrared spectrometer aboard the probe. Water was discovered a while back by ground-based telescopes in quite a number of comets. Also,
