Scientific paper

Recent spaceborne observations suggest the existence of water, most of which is ice, on the moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, on many moons of those planets, in comets and meteors, in the sun and perhaps on Mercury, all over the interstellar space, and, most likely, on planets circling other stars. Photographs of Europa taken by the Galileo spacecraft over the past two years show cracked ice plates that almost surely have slid apart, suggesting that the surface that is seen is probably no more than a frozen shell floating atop a massive global sea. Other moons too show signs of liquid interiors. The possible sources of the water and the planets and moons and implications for extraterrestrial life are examined.
