Scientists say water on Earth may be older than the Sun. This conclusion was prompted by the discovery of water around a young star in the constellation of Orion, according to Forbes..

Approximately 70.8% of the earth's surface is covered by oceans, which contain 97% of the water on Earth. Our bodies are 55-60% water. But where did it come from and how did it appear on the planet? It is likely that it was brought by asteroids and comets from the far reaches of the solar system.. But even so, that's only part of the answer.. Did water exist before the sun?

Now scientists seem to be able to answer this question.. They found a lot of water, about 1200 times more than in all the oceans of the Earth, around a star that is 1305 light-years away..

This confirms the theory that water enters space bodies from the interstellar medium.. Moreover, this indicates that the water that exists in our planetary system was formed long before the birth of the Sun..

A new study, in fact, reveals the path that water takes from the gas and dust disk to the planet. Water in the planet-forming disk detected using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submmillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.

But the discovery made possible the unique position of the star. V883 Ori is a protostar that is hot enough that the water around it turns into a gas much further than most stars, and therefore easier to see in radio telescopes. In most star systems, water exists in the form of ice, which cannot be detected with radio telescopes..

Previously, scientists have discovered an unusual planetary system consisting of a Jupiter-like planet orbiting a tiny star only four times its own size.. This "
