TL;DR Summary

Scientists using the ALMA observatory have discovered an immense volume of water vapour surrounding the young star HL Tauri, located 450 light-years away, which amounts to three times the volume of Earth's oceans. This finding could enhance the potential habitability of planets forming in this region, as it mirrors the conditions present during Earth's formation. The discovery sheds light on the role of water in planetary formation and its significance in the search for extraterrestrial life.
