the water probably splashed up from the toilet. -hit happens.
It’s still good.................
PV = nRT
How long did it take when an ice cube was plaed under the bell jar?
Articles like this remind me of scientists with tin cups needing more research dollars. This time to chase some H2O on a couple of asteroids. What is the end game here, besides perptual funding?

>>>that should mean there is water(molecular) vapor in space...no?<<<<
Yes, there is, all over the place.
>>>Shouldnāt water be detected in Martian atmosphere? If the water is bound so tightly in Martian rock, would it be available for the chemical reactions needed for life?<<<
There’s lots of water on Mars, it’s just frozen solid under the soil, mostly at the poles.
>>>water āboilingā off due to the suns heat...but in an almost perfect vacuum of āspaceā the water should boil off due to low pressure given enough time.<<<
Earth has an atmosphere that’s 80% nitrogen, so not a vacuum. It was then as well, if not more.............
Maybe there have been iceteroids??
What the hail is going on here?
Comets are one known source.................
Yes but I don’t remember where I saw it perhaps 50 years ago or so. Very large planet as a remember.
Then there was Tom Van Flandern who posited there were originally 2 large planets which broke up somehow. As I recall, he did this by computing long and short period comet orbits to find their origins - there was a lot more I just don’t remember it.

I believe it but Iām stunned!

Gotta be careful around them beebers.
I canāt remember what year it was, but a member of our astronomy club actually was able to get someone associated with the SOFIA project to give us a presentation at one of our meetings. At the time it wasnāt yet airborne, it was still in the design stage. I donāt remember much, but it was pretty impressive.
Here are a couple links to more information -

Yeah, the impact of Bill Haley's group in 1953 has certainly had long-lasting global effects . . .
