Discovery:
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has detected water in the atmospheres of five planets beyond our solar system, two recent studies reveal.
The five exoplanets with hints of water are all scorching-hot, Jupiter-size worlds that are unlikely to host life as we know it. But finding water in their atmospheres still marks a step forward in the search for distant planets that may be capable of supporting alien life, researchers said.
The asteroid zoomed by Earth at a perfectly safe distance of around 1.8 million miles (2.9 kilometers).
Engineers expect to lose contact with the private US moon lander Odysseus on Tuesday, cutting short the mission after its sideways touchdown last week.
NASA announced Tuesday that a $32.7 million Capstone spacecraft intended to try out a skewed lunar orbit had lost contact, but agency engineers are confident
Finding water isn't significant, its everywhere in the universe. Liquid water on the other hand, thats difficult.
That's true, but if there is ice on the planet, there could be liquid water underneath. Hopefully. But hey we are fuking this planet up. Do we need to do it to another.
Is water really that important when it comes to finding extraterrestrial life? It's possible that with the infinite amount of galaxies there are, there are bound to be billions or greater planets that don't even need water for its inhabitants to survive.
