A NASA study shows that meteorites delivered only a small amount of water to Earth over the past four billion years.

Earlier research held that meteorite impacts from the solar system's early days were a major source of Earth's water.

For a long time, scientists assumed that Earth's water was delivered by asteroids and comets billions of years ago. This coincided with the Late Heavy Bombardment (ca. 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago), a ...
