There’s been a big development in the search for life in the universe, after scientists discovered an enormous presence of water vapour.

The new research focuses on a gas and dust disk surrounding a young star, which was observed using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

The star, named HL Tauri, is found 450 light-years away and surrounded by a staggering amount of vapour [via Geo News].

In fact, it adds up to three times the volume of all the oceans on Earth, and it could mark the birthplace of planets.
