What happens when protoplanetary disc systems stop following the rules? Today’s paper looks at how some stars with protoplanetary discs in the Upper Scorpius Region experience a mid-life crisis and behave unexpectedly.
Understanding the odyssey of water from interstellar space down to the oceans on Earth is hard. Today’s paper has given us another key link in this process: the first detection of deuterated water ice in space.
