Scientists have discovered a planet, practically completely composed of water and an unknown solid. At she is surrounded by an atmosphere that consists of steam. The discovered celestial body was given the unofficial name “Water world. “The planet is 124 light-years from Earth. It is already known that it is twice the size of our planet. A its weight, in contrast, is seven times less, writes American Christians Science Monitor. Scientists intend to closely monitor the planet and study it to the maximum. It is already known that the planet is observed unusual phenomenon. Water, if exposed to high temperatures, changes structure and becomes hot ice. Recall that previously scientists have already found water outside the solar system. It is the rain clouds that envelop the brown dwarf WISE J0855-0714, which was once a star. But he did not have enough strength to launch a thermonuclear reaction in core and become a full hot star. As a result, he “died” and became as dense as a planet. The temperature on its surface is almost the same same as in winter in Russia. Before that, astronomers could not find water outside the solar system. According to the hypotheses of scientists, water is on Titan, the satellite of Pluto. Large stocks of fluid are found under a thick layer of ice.
