Talk:Winchcombe meteorite

water
i read recently that water similar to that on the earth was found on this asteroid. I am unsure as if i should add it or not. Space pierogi (talk) 17:38, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure, any research conducted on the meteorite that ends up being reported by mainstream new sources is certainly going to be worth adding to the article.Pontificalibus 14:07, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * "... water similar to that on the earth"?? So basically, that's just water, isn't it? i.e. good old H2O. Are there different, extra-terrestrial, waters that you were thinking of? Where exactly did you read that recently? Thanks. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 16:01, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * According to Ashley King, a research fellow at the Natural History Museum in London, the ratio of water to heavy water varies for different sorts of object, hence the statement. The outer surfaces of the meteorite get hot and fuse as it falls through the atmosphere, but this seals the moisture inside, which stays cool.
