"We can now trace the origins of water in our Solar System to before the formation of the Sun," John Tobin, the study's lead author and an astronomer at the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory,That's right. According to this research, water is likely older than our Sun — and the secret, they say, was discovered in another star.
As the researchers explain in their study, V883 Orionis is surrounded by a disk-like cloud of cosmic matter. During the birth of a star, a wide-ranging scope of interstellar material gets sucked into the birthing star's vortex. The disk surrounding V883 Orionisis is comprised of that sucked-up material, and once the star stops growing, the matter from the disk will one day turn into surrounding bodies like comets, asteroids, and ultimately, planets.
