Scientists found water vapor on a Neptune-sized planet 124 light years away from Earth, the first time an exoplanet smaller than Jupiter has been found with water.
Astronomers figure out what elements compose an exoplanet by studying how light from the planet's star is absorbed as the planet passes in front of it. Until now, Neptune-sized and smaller planets hadn't been possible to study, probably because of heavy cloud cover. When HAT-P-11b passed in front of its host star, in the constellation Cygnus, it showed clearly the planet had water vapor.
This bodes well for the search for life elsewhere in the galaxy. Life as we understand it requires liquid water, carbon-based molecules, and an energy source; in the case of humans, that energy source is the sun. We know life can survive on an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone: we're proof. Now, if we can detect water vapor on similar planets, we may have a better bead on where to look for other kinds of life.
Only naive people believe all those things they say...the government has had contact with extraterrestrial races for decades...wake up people!
There is no objective data that supports the claim that aliens have visited earth and made contacts with humans. And there is no logical reason for governments to keep this as a secret either if ever it was true. The world's governments can't even completely agree on anything and you expect them to somehow agree on being absolutely quiet about alien contact? Or do you think that aliens only land in the US whenever they visit earth hence the US government is able to make a total lockdown of information about alien contact?

1. The fact you think Extraterrestrial life is anything like that on earth, that they can somehow connect with earthly invention and understand it too.
2. If such life would exist and somehow be as far as travel through the billions of lightyears of the universe do you really think they'd try to find us, a small ass insignificant part of the universe that is run by mass murder and it's people are enslaved by a fairytale made up 2000 years ago.
Yeah, sure.
