A new study suggests that water can naturally form during planet formation through rock-gas interactions, potentially increasing the likelihood of habitable worlds in the universe, as water may be more common than previously thought.
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.
Researchers have discovered that high energy electrons from Earth's plasma sheet may be contributing to weathering processes on the moon's surface and aiding the formation of water. The study suggests that the magnetotail, a region consisting of high energy electrons and ions sourced from Earth and the solar wind, may play a role in the origin of water ice previously discovered in the lunar permanently shaded regions. This finding highlights the strong connection between Earth and the moon and could provide valuable insights for future lunar exploration and resource utilization.
