Huge water presence, three times greater than oceans of Earth, found in space Scientists looked into the gas and dust disk which was surrounding a young star and found water vapour in abundance The hunt for life beyond Earth went a step further when scientists discovered water vapour in abundance in the universe. In the latest research, the scientists focused on a gas and dust disk which was surrounding a young star. It was observed using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA). The star, which has been named HL Tauri, was discovered 450 light-years away and a huge amount of vapour was seen surrounding it. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Another_Earth_Found_In_Space
