A new study led by Kathleen Mandt, a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, has renewed focus on the role of Jupiter-family comets in Earth's water history, according to Phys.org.

The results were perplexing, Mandt said, because the D/H value was way higher than those of other Jupiter-family comets. Plus, "the comet should have a lot more CO [carbon monoxide] and N2 ...
