It’s #WorldWaterWeek! From our solar system to other star systems, Hubble has found evidence of water beyond Earth. Each day through Friday, learn about a different place where Hubble has observed water off our planet.
Hubble found evidence of water-rich asteroids falling into the white dwarf GD 61, located 150 light-years from Earth. A stellar relic that burned out 200 million years ago, the white dwarf might've once had habitable planets orbiting it: hubblesite.org/news_release/n… #WorldWaterWeek
Day 2: Hubble observations from 1997 of Mars provided further evidence for water- or hydrogen-bearing minerals on the planet’s surface. In the false-color infrared view below, the reddish areas show where such hydrated minerals could be concentrated: hubblesite.org/image/776/news…
