In this article, it explains how an asteroid called 24Themis is important because it has water ice on it's surface. That's important because it relates to how Earth got it's atmosphere. Since Themis has water ice, scientists believe that an asteroid collided with it that had the water and gave Themis it's atmosphere. This theory goes to Earth as well. Themis also sits near an icy trail which is between Mars and Jupiter. This trail is important because it is believed that everything beyond the trail such as asteroids may contain ice. The trail contains an icy tail because of sublimating ice. Every airless thing before the trail has no ice because the sun evaporates it. Also, the largest asteroid, Ceres, has been confirmed to have water ice on it too. Ceres has an orbit close to Earth. Overall, scientists proved that there is evidence of ice because of the distance to the sun.
This discovery is important to mankind because it reveals life beyond Earth. These asteroids might have life which causes us to belive that Earth had contact with one of these asteroids. These asteroids have good evidence on them because of their place and conent. Also, scientists will continue to study these asteroids to find more evidense on life on other asteroids.
I was interested in this article because of it's content and detail. However, this article was stretched at times and the author didn't explain some interesting facts. Also, there weren't many examples. And, the examples were short themselves. But overall, the article was interesting and contained good dictation.
