Hi everyone, according to an article from http://www.scienceda...10722132828.htm entitled, "Astronomers Discover Largest and Most Distant Reservoir of Water Yet:"

ScienceDaily (July 22, 2011) — Water really is everywhere. Two teams of astronomers, each led by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), have discovered the largest and farthest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe. Looking from a distance of 30 billion trillion miles away into a quasar -- one of the brightest and most violent objects in the cosmos -- the researchers have found a mass of water vapor that's at least 140 trillion times that of all the water in the world's oceans combined, and 100,000 times more massive than the sun.


Cheers, :)

Hi karen, the prevalence of water throughout the universe taken together with the increasing number of potential new Earth-like planets being discovered increases the odds that various kinds of lifeforms are currently existing and/or have existed throughout the universe. :) IMVHO, we are not alone in the universe-far from it. :)

Just a hop, skip, and a jump away! :lol:
