In searching for worlds we humans might one day try to inhabit, the presence of water is among the most pertinent considerations.
So where else should we be looking for water? How can we detect water on planets we can’t get to? And why is the search for water important anyway?

- “…interesting possibilities for the potential for life on Mercury.”
- “…extraterrestrial water can help us better understand the origin of water on Earth and its distribution within our planetary system.”
