l. How near is near? Do we know what pressures exist near the red star? The 'waterfall' which remains unexplained in the text accompanying the photo appears to fall into an 'area' which I believe could be high pressure, possibly caused by anti-gravity.
2. Liquid water exists as an ocean on Europa, covered by ice, Europa exists in a vacuum. It is not inconceivable that a globe of water formed in space would either instantly or nearly instantly form an ice shell to contain the water. A few of the moons of Saturn, Jupiter and possibly Uranus are said to be similar to Europa. I have seen photos of the ice moons shooting geysers of water, which of course turn instantly to ice and snow.
I did not say all the moons of Jupiter and Saturn are balls of water. However, some of those moons (I don't know how many) are covered by ice having oceans beneath, and this has been proven through photos of water geysers shooting from the ice. In my proposal the moons begin as balls of water, within which grows the minerals forming the core.
Thanks Reality Check. Your information helps us all to consider what may be possible. I think if anyone only a decade or two in the past had suggested that baby stars emit water they would have been considered lunatic by people relying on consensus.

The url content suggests that earth's water did not have to come from comets, as seems to be the consensus among most people I talk to.
This url suggests plenty of water in space.

I admit my concept requires plenty of imagination, but Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
