The show how the universe works on sci fi is really good if you are interested in this type of stuff. In fact "black holes" is on now.

good question, good question lol
The light would have bounced off the surface of the planet and traveled for 2000 years to reach the telescope.

Yeah your right every time they say water it's never regular old earth like water. The "water" emitting from Euclid is some sort of water-ice, the article says "a fissure that sprays icy particles, water vapor and organic compounds"Originally Posted by eNPHAN
jking, it maybe saturn's moon im talking about...
to my knowledge, liquid is the rarest form of matter in the universe
and they found ONE moon with liquid methanol on it...
no water,tho, im pretty sure that would be like the most groundbreaking discovery since finding out we orbit the sun...

Negative oxygen ions were discovered in Earth's ionosphere at the dawn of the space age. At Earth's surface, negative water ions are present where liquid water is in motion, such as waterfalls or crashing ocean waves.
Seems like mixed reports on what it actually is but this kind of puts it into perspective at how much it means to science.
Sidebar: All of these articles say "Ingredients for Life" because prior to that Arsenic finding in California we thought for something to live it needed several basic elements. But we have since learned that may not be true. If something can live off arsenic I would think it could live off a lot of other elements. This opens up the search in space for what a habitual planet really is.
