Given that Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and Oxygen a common product of stellar fusion, it is highly likely that water will be one of the most common compounds in the universe. Consequently I would expect to find at least some on any planet that is not too hot and small. I.e. don't bother looking on Mercury, but I would expect to find some in one form or another on all the other planets in the Solar system, and on many moons too. >That is fantastic! > >I think this increases the likelihood of life in the universe (the >Drake equation parameter). > >Now we can terraform the place. > >- Jed Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
