James Webb Space Telescope finds water in asteroid belt, hinting at origin of Earth's oceans
Water has been found in the Solar System's main asteroid belt for the first time, giving scientists an insight into where Earth's oceans may have come from, NASA says.
The discovery of water vapour around a "main belt comet" inside Jupiter's orbit is being hailed as a breakthrough in understanding where Earth's abundant water came from.

Churning Solar Prominence: A solar prominence rose up along the edge of the sun and twisted and churned for about two days before falling apart (Jan. 23-24, 2017). The dynamic action was generated by competing magnetic forces. The images were captured by NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) and taken in a wavelength extreme ultraviolet light that observes activity close to the solar surface, perfect for capturing prominences, which are notoriously unstable clouds of plasma suspended above the sun.
