Scientists Discover Planets Can Generate Their Own Water

Scientists have discovered that water-rich exoplanets, especially sub-Neptunes close to their stars, can produce their own water through high-pressure reactions between silicate melts and hydrogen in their atmospheres, challenging previous theories about their formation and composition.

Scientists Discover How Exoplanets Generate Water from Rocky Cores and Hydrogen Atmospheres

Experimental evidence shows that high-pressure magma–hydrogen reactions can produce significant amounts of water within hydrogen-rich sub-Neptune planets, suggesting these planets could become water-rich through internal processes rather than solely through formation outside the snow line, challenging traditional models of planet formation.
