Ever wondered how water first arrived on our planet? Well, it turns out the mystery could finally have been solved. Researchers have undertaken detailed analysis of asteroids and the findings could change the way the scientific community think about origins of water on our planet. Experts at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) have discovered salt crystals on samples recovered from space. As their findings state, these crystals could only have formed with the presence of water.

It suggests that S-type asteroids could be home to more water than previously thought. The new findings led some scientists to claim that water is likely to have arrived on asteroids when our planet was first being formed. The senior’s author Tom Zega said: "The grains look exactly like what you would see if you took table salt at home and placed it under an electron microscope. "They're these nice, square crystals. It was funny, too, because we had many spirited group meeting conversations about them, because it was just so unreal. Zega added: "It has long been thought that ordinary chondrites are an unlikely source of water on Earth. Our discovery of sodium chloride tells us this asteroid population could harbour much more water than we thought." Itokawa is a S-type asteroid, and it’s thought that temperatures on their surfaces were too high for water to form. Shaofan Che, who is the lead study author, said: "In other words, the water here on Earth had to be delivered from the outer reaches of the solar nebula, where temperatures were much colder and allowed water to exist, most likely in the form of ice. "The most likely scenario is that comets or another type of asteroid known as C-type asteroids, which resided farther out in the solar nebula, migrated inward and delivered their watery cargo by impacting the young Earth."

Hugh Hefner's son, Marston, has kickstarted a side hustle to fund his Pokémon card collection. The 33-year-old son of the former Playboy founder told Page Six how his relationship with his father made him feel comfortable about his sexuality and realise that "there's nothing wrong with nudity or sexuality". "I grew up, you know, in an environment where that was kind of hammered home, where there’s nothing wrong with nudity, nudity’s normal," he told the publication. He went on to share his love for Pokémon cards and comic books, being an avid collector of the two. "This is like a way for me to get some income so that I can buy that Pokémon card that I really want," he said, adding that a Trophy card, which can cost up to six figures, will be in his pocket "before the year's end." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter While Marston is seemingly enjoying his new hustle, his wife Anna isn't yet sold on the idea. "She’s not crazy about me being on OnlyFans," he suggested. "She would rather me not be on OnlyFans but what’s more important to her is me pursuing my dreams or my interests — taking risks." However, he went on to justify his decision by calling it a "long-term avenue for further financial security." Marston, who identifies as "bisexual AF" opened up about being supportive of each other's interests. "If she wanted to do an open relationship, we’ll talk about it. If she wanted to do anything sexual, that’s a conversation that we have no matter what, and we are always having it," he said. "I think we grew up with parents who, like, maybe the father could stray, or it was more acceptable for the male to do whatever they want. That’s not — I don’t believe in that."
