Hello Ron,
Thank you for the latest CC Digest posting.
I am wondering if you can explain further the final line in the COMPOSITION
OF COMETARY DUST abstract. The line reads as follows:
"There is evidence for an organic material that is being destroyed between
heliocentric distances of 0.8-1.8 AU. "
I'm wondering two main things, first, how do they know the material is
organic, and second, how do they know the material is destroyed, or better
yet, why is it destroyed?
Thanks as always,
Martin
