Lately 9/13/22 made a post about the aliens, but when I was reading a post I saw this and it made my eyes widely open: www.joe.co.uk/life/scientists-discover-nearby-planet-covered-in-water-355737?fbclid=IwAR1xzzpzCvpg54OjjkKTlDgqqZMN550-Wq1J00iYuXy5FsGv8stH_m83cEMScientists discover nearby planet that is almost entirely covered in water
The exoplanet is around 100 light years away from Earth Scientists have reportedly stumbled upon a nearby planet that is thought to be almost entirely covered water, making it the first of its kind to be discovered by humans.
A team of astronomers at the University of Montreal located the exoplanet designated TOI-1452 b during their research published in the peer-reviewed Astronomical Journal on Wednesday. The previously unidentified planet is situated in the Draco constellation, some 100 light years or so away and its composition said to be striking similar to Earth, albeit more massive.
The researchers believe that the mass of the planet suggests it is largely made up of something less dense than rock but denser than gas: the logical conclusion being a potential global ocean.
With help from university's observatory, they determined that approximately 30 per cent of TOI-1452 b's mass comes from liquid, signifying a deep global ocean akin to the deep waters experts believe sits below the icy crust of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus.
In contrast, while oceans cover around 70 per cent of the Earth's surface, they make up less than one percent of our total mass, with our planet predominantly composed of rock and metallic elements.
With help from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite - commonly known as the TESS spacecraft - and subsequent, new methods analysis at the Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic (OMM), they were able to confirm the planet's existence and its radius.
From there, another telescope situated in Hawaii was able to calculate the mass of the nearby planet and while it's still not certain if TOI-1452 b is an ocean world, the presence of waters means it likely has the conditions to support life, not dissimilar to Mars.
The researchers are now hoping that even closer examination by the James Webb Space Telescope should be able to answer many of the questions we have about this new planet outside of our solar system.

The Sun has a density 1.4 times water. Saturn 0.7 density of water Uranus 1.3 Jupiter 1.3
Very close to water, and yet none consist of water. If you claim to discover water on an exoplanet and publish in quackademic journal then you are legally allowed to defraud the taxpayer
plenty big money here for typical forked-white-tongues to babble about their star trek fantasies without the vaguest connection to a solid logical analysis
most planets with water, like earth and various moons of outer planets, which are covered in ice have an average density much higher than water earth is over 5 times the density of water and those moons are typically over 3 times the density of water
the fact that such pseudoscience 'goes viral'
just proves the fallacy of democracy as being mob mentality devoid of genuine philosophical value
they all just got their snouts in the same free money trough
It's not difficult to accuse dozens (if not thousands) of scientists in lie, but it's not as easy to go with it for a courtesy and wins it. I don't know how they measure all that, but such a widespread falsely supposes too many scientists involved in that conspiracy, which is again – another conspiracy theory. It's not impossible for companies or corporations to wool and wash people's heads, however none can't easily say to know whether or not there is such a thing. I don't think it works like that because yes it would be highly unlikely given the way you're saying it would have to be but I don't think that's how it works I think this is a self-feeding monster I think that people are trained from kindergarten till job in a certain way of thinking and doing and believing and that certain way of thinking doing and believing just so happens to appear to some as a conspiracy theory as if all scientists are in on the same agenda because they are they're just unaware of it Their aren't evil people trying to destroy the world like we see in movies there are people with good intentions destroying the world unaware of their own indoctrination.

True that all of the people might be just making mistakes all the time, or be limited in their knowledge. Of this I like Lovecraft's many references to limits of narrow human knowledge as some of his very representive quotes: “The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”Or this one: "These vertebrates, as well as an infinity of other life forms - animal and vegetable, marine, terrestrial, and aerial - were the products of unguided evolution acting on life cells made by the Old Ones, but escaping beyond their radius of attention. They had been suffered to develop unchecked because they had not come in conflict with the dominant beings. Bothersome forms, of course, were mechanically exterminated. It interested us to see in some of the very last and most decadent sculptures a shambling, primitive mammal, used sometimes for food and sometimes as an amusing buffoon by the land dwellers, whose vaguely simian and human foreshadowings were unmistakable". However, if we are all wrong, it has to be uttered and proved anyway.
