Galactic ‘Waterworlds’: Exoplanets with Oceans Discovered in Star Cluster

The observed exoplanets vary in size and composition, with some possessing atmospheres rich in water vapor. The identification of liquid water oceans suggests that these exoplanets may have conditions suitable for life as we understand it, opening up new avenues for astrobiological research.

The discovery challenges previous assumptions about the prevalence of water-rich planets in star clusters and expands the potential habitable zone within these cosmic neighborhoods. Astronomers are now eager to study these exoplanets further, using more powerful telescopes and future space missions to characterize their atmospheres and potential biosignatures.
