These mainstream NASA explanations are becoming tiresome.

Asteroids are rocks just like comets... not spewing water — just dust, protons, hydroxyl ions by electrical discharge, not solar heating.

288P is a comet designation. When discovered the object was given the asteroid designation 2006 VW139. It was discovered in November of 2006 from Kit Peak observatory. It's one of a group of about two dozen objects that orbit just outside 3 astronomical units in slightly elliptical orbits (.16 versus an eccentricity of .09 for Mars and .25 for Pluto).

It would have been interesting if the author had researched the literature and reported if any of the other members of the group are also spewing water.

I saw the Space-Rock duo open up for Insane Covfeve Posse at Winterland in 1981.

NASA Budget time ping!

Of course they have water. They are part of what’s left of the collision of Niburu and Tiamat, the water planet. Sheesh. I thought everyone knew that.
