I just wanted to say I loved the transition from the blurry image to the animation of the galaxy with a black hole. It paints the picture of reality and what we actually see really well!

It's a shame you didn't bother to point out that H2O is the most abundant chemical compound in the universe after H2. I think that's the real, satisfying explanation. For those interested: The primordial soup of the universe contained about 90% hydrogen (by number of atoms) and 10% helium. a hydrogen nucleus is literally just a proton, the most stable hadron, so it's easy enough to see why it would form in such large quantities within the first second of the universe. Eventually, (once the universe expanded and cooled enough to allow it) these protons would combine with electrons and form the first atoms, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I said there were about 10% helium nuclei, but where did they come from? It's not so easy to make helium, you need to subject protons to immense heat and pressure just to get started. These days, helium is only really produced in stars, in fact, hydrogen->helium burning is the primary source of energy for stars on the main sequence. But think about it, in the first few moments of the universe, everything was so hot and dense, it was in many ways just like the core of a star, except EVERYWHERE. It didn't have much time before things expanded and cooled beyond the conditions needed for fusion, but in that brief window, some of the protons stuck together (one of them becoming a neutron) to form deuterium, and some of that deuterium would stick to another deuterium and form helium nuclei (which are quite stable). There was also smaller trace amounts of lithium, and maybe some insignificant amounts of slightly heavier elements, but really it was hydrogen and helium (including hydrogen isotopes like deuterium). Nucleosynthesis is a complex quantum mechanical process and I can't begin to explain the why or how of these things in a youtube comment. So anyway, pretty soon after the big bang, the universe cools past the necessary temperature/pressure for continued fusion, and we enter the dark ages. The universe was filled with a hydrogen/helium soup, but the first stars had not yet ignited, the universe was dark (apart from the bright infrared heat glow and maybe the CMB if we're past recombination). As things continue to cool, many of the hydrogen atoms will find it energetically favourable to combine into molecular hydrogen (H2). Helium, on the other hand, is a noble gas and is not chemically reactive. And until the first stars begin to burn, nothing much happened for a while. But now fast forward, and the first stars are burning hydrogen into helium, and helium into carbon and oxygen through the alpha processes. As it happens, oxygen is the 3rd most abundant chemical element in the universe. Take a second to be amazed by that. Why should that be the case? So far it has been very logical. Hydrogen has atomic number 1, and is the first most abundant element. Helium has atomic number 2, and is the second most abundant. Shouldn't lithium be next? Well, as it happens, not all atoms are created equal. Some nuclei are just easier to make, there are energetically favourable pathways to produce carbon and oxygen (in general, even numbered elements are more common because you can make them by sticking helium nuclei together). Long story short, after the first stars burn and explode their guts, you end up with something we call a GMC - Giant Molecular Cloud. This is what it sounds like. A massive cloud of molecules. But this cloud is made out of mostly hydrogen, then helium, then oxygen (other important common elements are carbon, iron, and silicon - all key components of the Earth). Since helium isn't chemically reactive, the GMC is chemically dominated by hydrogen and oxygen, which naturally combines to form H2O. Which is why GMCs are so rich in water. The large amounts of silicon also readily react with the more abundant oxygen, forming all kinds of silicate minerals. The carbon also tends to react with the oxygen, locking much of it away in volatile carbon compounds like carbon monoxide and CO2. So now you have a huge cloud (could be lightyears across) filled with molecular hydrogen, non-reactive helium, water, oxygen, carbon monoxide/dioxide, silicates, iron, and random sh*t. More or less in that order. Even after going straight through a star, the cloud is still mostly hydrogen BY FAR. But the key point here is that the second most abundant chemical compound is WATER. The stuff is everywhere. We've been talking for a long time about "why is there so much water on Earth", and this is a valid question which is more related to planetary formation, but on cosmic scales, water is abundant :)

If gravity attracts, how could Jupiter's gravity have flung or repelled asteroids away from it towards the earth?

It destabilized the orbits of objects in what is now the asteroid belt, and they crossed over Earth’s orbit

@kd7jhd

This is a great question and the other responses are valid. Perhaps a more pinpointed answer is that the imagery used in the video doesn't really describe what's happening. Jupiter's gravity didn't push asteroids directly toward the Earth. One example of how the 'attractive' force of gravity from Jupiter caused asteroids to impact Earth would be that Jupiter pulled some of the asteroids out of their relatively circular orbit and changed their orbits to one that would be more likely to hit the Earth. Basically, Jupiter's gravity changes the orbit of many asteroids and caused some of them to spread out across the solar system. I imagine it like the asteroids are on a race track around the sun. Then Jupiter comes by and jerks the stearing wheel a little bit causing a few asteroids to veer off the track and onto the grass. Then as those asteroids try to get back on the track they take a different path and some of them can't avoid crashign into the Earth.The closer Jupiter is to the Asteroid Belt, the more influence it has on their orbits.

@CuriosityGuy

I think that answers it. Change in the motion and direction of motion of the asteroids; change in the orientation and shape of the orbit of the asteroids as a result of Jupiter's gravity in such a way that they would be more likely to hit the Earth.

The animation of this video is great! Hope to see more like this moving forward.

Very cool video. Nothing beats an ice cold glass of water after working out or on a lovely summers day. I heard that water holds information too so the water you drink has passed through most people and other animals on the planet =P

That really washed down my sadness

It would be interesting to find exactly when most of it became salt water and why that happened.

Thank you.

Missed those water puns today Joe... 😢

Multi-part question here: Wouldn’t an atmosphere be needed to hold the water (along with gravity) so the sun wouldn’t evaporate it all? If so, wouldn’t said atmosphere burn up many of these comets and asteroids that would have delivered frozen water up (or evaporate the frozen water, at least)? I may be thinking of this all wrong, but it seems like an atmosphere would be needed to help retain the water, yet it would have had to have been weaker so fewer water-delivering-asteroids/comets would burn up or lose all water upon entry. Is such a balance possible considering our proximity to the sun? Either it would seem to be that the atmosphere was thinner and/or weaker, or those comets/asteroids must have been very large so as to not lose most of their “payload” before impact. Also, on a slightly different note, are there still large comets/asteroids found in the Solar System carrying water today?

This was H2Original, water great episode.

PBS is certainly giving us a torrent of water videos today. First the Carnian Pluvial Episode on Eons, now this.

The phrase "stay curious" takes on a whole new meaning in this episode. Imagine how many civilizations may have evolved billions of years ago (and may still be around)

Awesome

This helps me get over the hurdle of alien life. I always say that our biggest problem with finding life on another planet is that their level of evolution may be at a very different (earlier) stage from ours.

Just a thought, isn't there a flaw in thinking water was always water. If I'm not mistaken hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements in our known universe. So with that you just need to look for oxygen wich is also abundant as individual particles in space wich would explain the water just floating around and of course that floating water will eventually find its attracted to a body in space. Thiers also the fact that oxygen loves to bond to many things not just hydrogen, wich can lead to more water being produced on the planetary body it's self over time.

I always wondered how water formed on earth! And if a planet has water in it's rocks or in it's core then how come not a single planet in our solar system has visible water on it's surface even though they are getting bombarded with comets and asteroids all the time?
