And yet you readily take for fact they are detecting a bunch of liquid water in space eh?

the water may be produced due to certain atomic and ionic reactions just fast enough and far enough away from the star to escape being vaporised. the water would survive its journey through space because of the zero friction in space but would immediatly vaporize when passing through a planets atmosphere, so the only place the water can land is moons or other astronomical bodies with no atmosphere and a low gravity

so tell me, how does a firey star shoot water into space?

As protons and hydroxyl ions, which then combine under conditions explained in the article to form water.

There is no science to explain how a molten hot mass can contain water.

If the pressure within a hot molten mass is sufficient, liquid water can exist within it.

Where did the oxygen come from?

It was created by nuclear fusion within the star itself.

Like I said, you can grab the bible and come to the same conclusions, we know nothing.

Speak for yourself, please. Some of us went to the trouble of getting an education.

You are on the right track, in short, you need pressure to keep liquid water bound, with a lack of pressure like in space, you will have water as gas, then it will freeze to a solid, ice. That is called desublimation, the process in which gas transforms into solid directly.
Churning all of this together there is probably a point of where pressure and temperature of ejected water from a star could theoretically be liquid water for some period of time during it's journey before landing on a body with sufficient pressure and temperature, like earth, during the accretion era of the forming solar system, and the conditions on earth allowed us to keep the water we got.

Here's an interesting page on some of the properties of water here on earth.

Link, also watch the Mt. Washington demonstration video at the bottom by the weather channel.

wow this is amazing, nothing more to say
what more proof do you need there is other life in the universe..
people who dont think so need to get other the thought that humans are so special

Oh...you should read my thread...

Plus, many thanks to the OP for posting this information, as I saw it just in time to include it in the thread...good job

how can anyone prove that its actually water vapor coming from this star?

By using an infrared spectroscope.

On Earth we call vaporized water steam which condenses into rain.

The Sun doesn't destroy water by vaporizing it. Stars actually create water. This is the source of all the water in the Universe by way of stellar fusion.

when something vaporizes, it doesn't just disappear, it becomes part of that planets atmosphere.... and whats in our own atmosphere? helium, hydrogen and other light elements. when enough water vapor compress together, you get clouds, and when the cloud gets large enough, it starts condensing into what we call rain.

its pretty simple really. water just doesn't disappear.

all the matter in our universe was created within stars using fusion. its all about chemistry. different elements fuse together to create a heavier element. this is why we have heavy elements such as iron, nickle, gold, silver, copper etc. they were once lighter elements from the original three. Hydrogen, helium and Lithium. they combined to create the heavier elements. take a look @ the periodic table of elements. they are in order from lightest to heaviest and they all originated from stars.

The size or amount would have to be massive to ever really make a difference though, I guess that's all my point really was.

Just to add a Cheerful note, we know the speed of Light, We know the speed of sound, But I wonder now - what is the speed of Water ????

Hope NASA keep us all well informed about this new spacial water pistol, cum Star...

thank you for reminding me. i forgot that water does not simply just vanish when its heated up.

that was a bit stupid of me
