At 400 degrees it has water? What kind?

this is so intresting.

Very very high pressure. Water boils in the vacuum of space because there is no air pressure to stop it evaporating. Put water in a pressure cooker as long as the pressure is kept high you can heat water well beyond 100 degrees C and it will remain a liquid.

This is great, NASA has always and will always only be special interest group instrument, it is beyond all reasonable doubt withholding information about inhabitable planets around us, a non affiliated group finds a water world is proof enough that NASA is only an elitist secret space program with "public" sugar bits tossed around, I'm sure not even NASA's own employed is all aware about all that NASA has covered up. This is a research group within the research group and thank god for independent scientists. They are at least sharing their findings and I hope that these groups even if they have to work with obsolete and inferior equipment to reach their findings one day also will be able to put some real light on the UFO phenomenon as NASA stopped live broadcasts from their STS missions just cause there where things up there that they could not explain. I want people to do more like Erich von Däniken (1968) Chariots of the gods? put a lot of question marks ????? as question marks is true headache for these official NASA scientists and others out there to handle, a question mark is more effective then only claim one have been visited, so with that in mind I applause these independent scientists that truly will be the saviours of human mankind one day as NASA clearly is only a front for the elitists that keeps everything vital for themselves.

I may be wrong but I think, having learned years ago that the nearest planet looking like our wonderfull Earth was located somewhere around 22 light-years away. I don't recall how hot or cold it was. Nonetheless, this means to go visit that new planet, traveling 30000 times faster than what we do, now; at the speed of light will take 40 years to go and 40 to come back. This does not look like a great discovery , Beside what can we do with 400° water and a sol, certainly, also very hot ! Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

Yes Bianca ,water as we know it. as was said above, if kept pressurized(I believe if my math is correct, 5 atmospheres) then it will stay liqud at 400F. Now what kind of life could exist there ??? your guess is as good as mine.

Okay so lets spend a few billion and go across there and take all their hot water...If this planet (if this is the truth that is)is inhabited maybe we should just leave them be in case we go over there and mess up their planet like the super job we are doing of screwing up our own. Unless they would be in the market for some commodities like greed,corruption,domination,laws for everything from coughing to blowing your nose or taking a dump then we have nothing to contribute unfortunately. Maybe when we are capable of looking after our own planet we can think of leading by example...EH?

that is absolutely amazing, we have found a whole new planet now we can even spend a holiday over at planet x eh???!!! that is just beyond of what i know , absolutly amazing i love it!!!!!!!!

it is absolutely so fantastically amazing so interesting I CANT WAIT TO HEAR MORE!!!!!!!!!!! i bet the water would be some sort of extreme sauna, heck with water that hot they might even make a national contest, i wonder if one day so many newly made planets in our solar system would form that would be so close to us, each country would have its own plant, or it could end up like that one pixar movie Walle; we would probably end up just shipping ourselves off into space or like the movie the fifth element, just build some sort of floating air crafts & homes where we just could stay constantly up in the air. but im just wowed to the point of a cardiac arrest about all these new exciting discoveries and new inventions, like i heard they have invented a flying car and shoes that grow on your feet shheeessshh in about a couple some odd years i can throw out the dinosaurs on my feet and get me some growables.

jean-claude. The importance of this discovery is not that we can pop over any time we like and visit another Earth. The importance is that without spending billions of dollars with uber telescopes an Earthlike planet has been found in our vicinity. The more we find the more common we can assume earthlike planets are the more likely there will be life in our region of the galaxy. To put it in perspective the alternative is searching and only finding Jupiter or larger sized planets with very little hope of finding life. That is what makes the water so important. There is life thousands of metres below the sea surface near volcanic vents where the water temperature is 400 degrees where life thrives on Earth. The requirements for life on Earth seems to be liquid water even at trace levels.
