More new discoveries are being found in Outer Space. While the NASA aircraft was voyaging into Outer Space hundreds of tons of ice chunks were seen outside of Comet Hartley 2. These large ice particles are golf sized to basketball sized fluffy dry carbon dioxide. The particles were not being lifted off the surface by the sun but rather by carbon dioxide.
