The results indicate that current ideas about how our Solar System formed may be wrong.
Researchers used Rosetta’s Rosina instrument to “sniff” the atmosphere around Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as the probe trailed the icy body over a six-month period.
One of the scientists involved, Professor Kathrin Altwegg of Bern University said that the scientists involved in the study thought the result was a mistake when they first saw the data
Could this mean our earth and other planets developed differently than we thought? Feel free to comment with your ideas.
