Space "hydrogen peroxide" or reveal the Earth "Water Puzzle"

According to Xinhua News Agency, said Sunday the European Southern Observatory, astronomers using the European Southern Observatory in Chile, "The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment" telescope, observed 400 light-years away, "Antares by four" clouds , first discovered the hydrogen peroxide.

Many scientists believe that Earth's water from a considerable part of the space. These water sources in space, scientists have been eager to find out the problem. Everyday life, used hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, disinfectant, etc., commonly known as the hydrogen peroxide solution. Astronomers analysis, in space, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the surface of cosmic dust particles can react to form hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen molecules then react with the hydrogen peroxide molecule, will produce water. The head of the Swedish Research Observatory Pell Weng Sarah Berryman said: "'Antares by four' cloud, the hydrogen peroxide molecules and the ratio of molecular hydrogen is 1:100 million, found that peroxide hydrogen molecule is excited.
