Scientific paper

Comets are icy relics left over from the planetary accretion disk. Most of them were scattered far out in the Oort Cloud, the scattered disk, or the Kuiper Belt during the early evolution of our solar system and only a few revolve on shorter orbits around the Sun. By investigating these most pristine bodies, we gain insight into processes and conditions in the early solar system and the subsequent evolution of small bodies. It is believed that comets played a role in the history of Earth's evolution and may have contributed significantly to the water inventory we see today on Earth. A key goal of the University of Hawaii NASA Astrobiology Institute (UH NAI) is to investigate the origin, history and evolution of water in the solar sys-tem and its relation to life.
