And so is the Kuiper Belt. So we're sort of all going around the sun nicely.

So that's the Kuiper belt. It gets to the near edge of the Oort Cloud in something like 9 and 1/2 months.

And it's still going through the Kuiper Belt so it is 25 times wider than the asteroid belt.

These are comets that were in the Kuiper belt and they were perturbed at some various point in time.

But once you get to the edge of the Kuiper Belt, it sort of becomes no man's land.

We're going to try and get a Kuiper belt object.

So that tells you that either it was comets from the Kuiper belt and something else mixing, or something happened to the water

So this is very strong evidence that at least Kuiper belt objects are not the primary source of Earth's water.
