A study co-signed by two researchers from Liège reveals that a team of astronomers has detected water in space thanks to data from the James Webb space telescope, informs RTBF.
At 370 light years from our Earth, astronomers have detected water vapor.
“One of the consequences of our results” explains Valentin Christiaens, FNRS researcher at ULiège, “is that water might be more common than we thought on rocky planets like Earth in our galaxy. A rocky planet like the Earth would not necessarily need a collision with a comet to have oceans as the commonly accepted theory presents. The water can be there from the start.”
