Are There Layers on Comet 67P?

Saturday, August 1, 2015 6:08

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Science magazine just published an article (note 1) that raises doubts about whether there are structures of layers on Comet 67P (note 2). The following photo seems to confirm there are layer structures on the comet:

Comet lander Philae took this photo on Comet 67P. In the red circle are two layers of material. Image source:

Note 1: See http://www.sciencemag.org/content/349/6247/aab0639.abstract

Note 2: “Valerie Ciarletti, a member of the radio experiment team, says the interior was also strikingly uniform. That’s odd, she says, because the orbiter has detected strong variations in both the abundance and composition of ices outgassing from the surface. Some areas are rich in carbon monoxide, for instance, whereas others are enriched in water. The uniformity also raises doubts about theories that comets accreted layer by layer in the early solar system, says Jessica Sunshine, a comet researcher at the University of Maryland, College Park, who is not on the mission.” (quoted fromhttp://news.sciencemag.org/space/2015/07/philae-s-scientific-harvest-may-be-its-last )
