The new evidence strongly suggests that a significant portion of the Earth's seawater arrived as a result of collisions with ice-packed comets.
Astronomers at the University of Michigan found the comet Hartley 2 carries ice with the same chemical composition as our oceans.
"We were all surprised," said Professor Ted Bergin.
"Life would not exist on Earth without liquid water, so the questions of how and when the oceans got here is a fundamental one (sic)," he said.
"It's a big puzzle and these new findings are an important piece."
The scientists made the discovery with infrared instruments on the Hershel Space Observatory, a telescope which orbits 930,000 miles away from Earth.
They measured the ratio of hydrogen and deuterium - or heavy hydrogen - in the frozen water, and found it was the same as in seawater. Read More
The damage to the brain caused by the neurological condition is similar to that caused by infectious diseases such as mad cow and the human form CJD.
Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston were studying what could cause the build-up of proteins in the brain, which characterises the degenerative condition.
In tests on mice, they found that it occurs when a normal protein becomes misshapen and then spreads by turning 'good' proteins into bad ones. A similar process is seen in both mad cow disease and CJD. Read More
The country is today in the grip of a 24-hour national strike which has seen flights grounded, schools shut and people on the streets trying to storm the Athens parliament of its bankrupt government.
Violence broke out as anarchists mixed with the marchers and started attacking more than 1,000 police with any weapons they could find.
This has been the first nationwide walkout in months and marked the start of what campaigners say is the culmination of two years of tax hikes and wage cuts.
In the chaos hospitals ran on emergency rotas and some state schools closed. Read More
Reptile wrangler Chris Peberdy said snakes were searching for water at the end of the dry season.
He said it was common to find snakes in houses - and even in beds.
"I've been finding snakes in (sliding door) runners, toilets, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, all sorts of weird places," he said.
"At this time of year, they are looking for water to drink, because a lot of dams are dry, so they come into homes to find water.
"And females are looking for suitable areas to lay their eggs."
A large number of Western Brown snakes have already been recorded across the Top End.
Palmerston residents are living in the most at-risk area, followed by Karama - courtesy of the dump.
To avoid snake bites, Territorians are urged to:
WEAR covered footwear, gloves and long pants when in areas likely to be home to snakes.
USE a torch when moving around at night.
DO NOT try to catch or kill snakes.
KEEP your yard free from rubbish piles.
KEEP your property free from objects that snakes may hide in such as stacks of tin or wood piles.
KEEP your grass cut short and do not allow vegetation to grow close to your house.
If you are bitten:
APPLY a firm broad pressure bandage to the bite site and extend to the rest of the limb. Don't remove clothing from limb, just bandage over the top. Wrap it as tight as for a sprained ankle.
THE VICTIM should be kept very still and the limb should be immobilised by using a splint.
REASSURE the casualty and call 000 for an ambulance.

SourceBelgian authorities say no radioactivity leaked into the environment after Tuesday afternoon's incident at the Belgoprocess facility in the northern municipality of Dessel, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said.
"The inspector, accompanied by a EURATOM inspector and a Belgoprocess official, was conducting a routine inspection at the facility when the incident occurred," it said in a statement.
The three have undergone "external decontamination procedures" and medical checks and are now being assessed to determine the level of their exposure, the Vienna-based agency said.
"Belgian authorities have reported that the incident area has been sealed off and no radioactivity has been released to the environment," it added. "Decontamination of the facility is expected to begin soon."
Public fears about the safety of nuclear energy rose worldwide after the Fukushima power plant accident in Japan in March, the worst such disaster in 25 years.
Last month, a furnace exploded at the Marcoule nuclear waste treatment site in southern France, killing one person, but there was no leak of radioactive material outside the furnace, France's ASN nuclear safety watchdog said. Source
