Water Blankets Forming Planets

A study in the journal Science finds much more molecular 1 water in regions where planets are forming around young stars. The mechanism 2 to keep the water from being destroyed by UV radiation appears to involve some of the water molecules 3 shielding the rest. Cynthia Graber reports


In 2008 astronomers 4 discovered surprising amounts of water molecules where planets were forming near young stars. But how, they wondered, could those molecules survive? They should have been destroyed by ultraviolet radiation. In theory, planetary dust could block out UV rays, but the dust was bound up in the creation of those young planets. So what's protecting the water? Now researchers at the University of Michigan believe they have the answer, which they published in the December 18th edition of the journal Science.


The regions where planets are being created are incredibly chemically productive, rapidly generating new compounds. According to the researchers, some water molecules surround the almost-planet dust and act as almost a sacrificial layer. The water molecules absorb the ultraviolet rays—and, though those molecules are destroyed, the embryonic 5 planet is shielded. And the region is producing water faster than the protective layer is being destroyed.


The scientists say this action is similar to our ozone 6 layer, which blankets us with protective shielding from UV radiation. They tested this idea in computer models and found that the results mirrored the observations. Seems that having water when a planet’s finished requires sacrificing some in the process.
