    Comet 67P’s Abundant Oxygen More of an Illusion, New Study Suggests

    Seven years ago, scientists made the surprising discovery of oxygen coming from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, throwing into question much of what they thought they knew about the early solar system. But a new study led by Johns Hopkins APL researchers reveals new details that suggest not everything about that discovery is as it seems.
