Interstellar ice found to bubble like liquids under UV light
Amorphous ice containing organic molecules, commonly found in comets and interstellar clouds, bubbled like a liquid under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, a Japan-based study has found. Researchers discovered the effect at temperatures between -208ÂºC and -123ÂºC. This liquid-like ice preserved in small planetesimals could have been the source of Earth's oceans and life, said researchers.
