Our Galaxy Could Be Full of Exoplanets with Oceans | SciShow News

The video explores the concept of ocean worlds beyond Earth, highlighting a NASA model predicting that such worlds are common in the galaxy. It discusses the methods used to identify potential oceans on exoplanets, including calculations of density and effective temperature. The James Webb Space Telescope's role in detecting water in space is also covered. Additionally, the video delves into Pluto's history, suggesting it may have had an ocean since its formation, challenging previous assumptions about its cold origins. This research implies that ocean worlds could be more prevalent in our solar system than previously thought.

In what ways can the James Webb Space Telescope aid in the search for ocean worlds?

What implications does the study of Pluto's potential underground ocean have for other bodies in the Kuiper Belt?
