Water to fill 2,000 times the Earth's oceans in a future star


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.
