'We're learning more about the atmospheres of exoplanets all the time, so we wanted to see if there are planets where complex molecules could also be delivered by comets,' says the study's lead author Richard Anslow of the University of Cambridge.
However, comets need to be travelling at less than 9.3 miles per second (15km/s) in order for the compounds to survive the heat and force of a planetary impact.
