- Ancient Earth was a water world. Evidence is mounting that some 3 billion to 4 billion years ago, the planet’s oceans held nearly twice as much water—enough to submerge today’s continents above the peak of Mount Everest. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/ancient-earth-was-water-world?utm_campaign=scimag&utm_source=jhubbard&utm_medium=twitter 4 comments science

- The planets around TRAPPIST-1 are estimated to be between 15 and 50 percent water by mass — Earth is only 0.02 percent. New research indicates this means the TRAPPIST-1 system actually has too much water to support life. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/03/trappist-1-system-may-have-too-much-water-to-support-life 15 comments science
- First time posting here, so my apologies if this has already been discussed, but is there a possibility of life (not microbes), but something much bigger like humans or animals which survive in much different environment, i.e. no water or hydrocarbons, than earth? https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/7v12n9/first_time_posting_here_so_my_apologies_if_this/ 11 comments space
- Europa Clipper launches in October, a spacecraft designed to unlock the secrets of Jupiter's moon, which holds twice as much water as all of Earth's oceans combined. “And that ocean has been there for 4 billion years.

- Earth’s core might contain most of the planet’s water — much more than the oceans. More than 4.5 billion years ago, the planet coalesced from hydrogen gas, dust and other material swirling around the newborn Sun. As Earth took shape, its hydrogen might have moved into the planet’s developing core. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-020-0578-1 5 comments science

- Scientists produce estimates of how much water is absorbed from oceans into Earth's interior via fault lines - estimate 3 times the water of previous estimates - and question whether water coming out (via volcano emissions etc.) makes up for it (in geologic time water doesn't accumulate much) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0655-4 4 comments science
- Earth's water is older than the Sun: Water is found throughout our Solar System. Not just on Earth, but on icy comets and moons, and in the shadowed basins of Mercury. New work has now found that much of our Solar System’s water likely originated as ices that formed in interstellar space https://carnegiescience.edu/news/earth%E2%80%99s_water_older_sun 263 comments science
