PROTONS ARE RAINING DOWN ON EARTH: A solar proton storm is in progress on Aug. 25th as energetic particles from the sun rain down on Earth's upper atmosphere. The proton-rich downpour is coming from a phalanx of active sunspots emerging over the sun's eastern limb. So far this is only a minor event (category S1), posing no threat to astronauts or air travelers.

What are your opinions regarding whether this "proton-rich downpour" could contribute to formation of H2O in Earth's atmosphere?
