New research uncovered compelling evidence — with the aid of a Big Island telescope atop Mauna Kea — that water from a comet is strikingly similar to that found in Earth’s oceans.

The comet is hurtling our way at 130,000 mph, but will veer closer to Mars than Earth, keeping a safe distance from both.

The comet’s orbit is huge, extending out to about 55,000 times the Earth-sun distance—87 percent of a light-year and well out into the Oort Cloud of icy objects that surrounds our sun.
