GJ1214b AKA Planet Waterworld


So it was recently discovered that the planet designated as GJ1214b has lots of water. In fact its entire surface if covered in water. This planet , somewhere in size between Earth and Uranus , is so watery that the atmosphere is just a dense could of vapor. The combination of high heat and hi pressure are said to possible create things like hot ice or superfluid water. It is a little to hat to live on but who knows.
