Researchers say they have uncovered evidence that early Earth was home to more hydrogen than previously thought.

Scientists from the University of Oxford analyzed a rare type of meteorite known as an enstatite chondrite.

The study calls into question widely held beliefs about the origins of water and the evolution of our planet.

The discovery of hydrogen in the meteorite means that Earth potentially could have been hydrated or wet from its initial formation.

Bryson acknowledged that the meteorite was likely on Earth for many years before it was collected but stands by the study results.

“Just the fact that there is a possibility makes the argument less strong,” Genge said.

Bryson: “We believe we have taken every effort we can in our analysis workflow to mitigate the impact of terrestrial water on our results”.
