In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists, including experts from the University of Tokyo, have found traces of liquid water on Asteroid Ryugu, reshaping our understanding of the early solar system. The research reveals that liquid water movement on Ryugu's precursor occurred over a billion years ago, offering profound insights into the history and evolution of asteroids.

New research suggests that Earth's transformation from a dry, inhospitable planet to a blue planet rich with water and life-building compounds was due to a colossal collision with a celestial body named Theia. This finding highlights the role of rare cosmic events in shaping planetary habitability.
