"NASA Discovers Potential for Habitable Oceans and Geysers on Icy Exoplanets"
A NASA study suggests that 17 exoplanets could potentially have oceans of liquid water beneath icy shells, making them potentially habitable for life. These subsurface oceans could occasionally erupt through the ice crust as geysers. The study calculated the amount of geyser activity on these exoplanets and identified two exoplanets where signs of these eruptions could be observed with telescopes. The research expands the search for life beyond exoplanets in the habitable zone and highlights the possibility of subsurface oceans on distant and cold exoplanets.
