The Herschel space
telescope of the European Space Agency (ESA) has discovered water steam to fill
2,000 times the Earth's oceans in a cloud of gas and dust is foundation to
collapse to form a new star the size of our Sun.
Stars from within
molecular clouds cold, the 'pre-stellar cores', containing all the necessary
ingredients to create planetary systems like ours. Water had been discovered
outside our solar system, near regions where new stars are forming and
protoplanetary disks. These were water molecules in vapor form or in solid
form, together with the dust particles.
