How did clay and carbonates form in frozen comets? We don't know, but their presence may imply that the primordial solar system was thoroughly mixed together, allowing material formed near the Sun where water is liquid, and frozen material from out by Uranus and Neptune, to be included in the same body. |

We are assembling a list of comet ingredients that will be used by other scientists for years to come. |
You can dredge material from near the infant Sun all the way out. |
