There’s been a big development in the search for life in the universe, after scientists discovered an enormous presence of water vapour.

The new research focuses on a gas and dust disk surrounding a young star, which was observed using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

The star, named HL Tauri, is found 450 light-years away and surrounded by a staggering amount of vapour [via Geo News].

In fact, it adds up to three times the volume of all the oceans on Earth, and it could mark the birthplace of planets.

Seeing that Colossus is using up Memphis’ fresh aquifer water to churn Americans’ data.
