What is the dirty snowball theory?
What are comets made of? Gravity holds stars and planets together, but what holds the other (little stuff) together. Ionic bonds. And it turns out that are only 3 that seem to work: Water (ice), Silicon oxide rock, and ferromagnetic metals (iron, nickel, cobalt). Comets don't seem to have much metal, so "dirty snow-ball". In 1949, Fred Lawrence Whipple theorized that the nucleus of a comet is made of frozen water, rocky debris, and frozen gases. This was called the "icy comglomerate" theory and is now known as the "dirty snowball" theory. However, in 1999, the Stardust spacecraft was launched and in 2004 it retrieved tiny particles from the comet Wild-2's surface and came back two years later in a capsule, landing in Utah. Minerals that formed in the presence of liquid water were discovered, proving that, at some point, pockets of water had existed on the comet. This disproved the "dirty snowball" theory.

What are the requirements for something to be called a science?
For something to be considered a science it has to have some sort of study or observance to explain something that has gone without definition. An example of something that is not a science is the ancient Egyptians. They were known to use poppy seed as a painkiller but that was it. They saw that it had effects and therefore utilized those effects. This did not meet the requirements of a science because they did not seek to explain WHY it was happening or how. That is the key ingredient in any science, to explain WHY or HOW something is doing what it is.
