Found, the Rest of the Planet Rich in Oxygen and Water

A joint team of scientists from the University of Warwick and the University of Cambridge managed to find the debris-rich and oxygen content of the water from a planet that was destroyed in the outer Solar System. 

Launch news agency Xinhua, October 14, 2013, the findings of oxygen-rich debris and water was detected by the Hubble Telescope and the Keck in Hawaii, USA. Capture images from a telescope, the debris is small it is being around a dwarf star called GD61, located 170 light years from Earth. 


Scientists believe the debris that contains oxygen and water as much as 26 percent of it comes from a large planet. This is the first time a major rock and oxygen-rich water found outside the Solar System. 

"The key findings of the human race towards habitable planets that exist outside our Solar System. Rocks rich in oxygen and water was interesting, because the first time discovered," said Boris Gansicke, researchers from the University of Warwick. 

Gansicke also said, leaving the planet rocks rich in oxygen and water predicted diameter of 90 kilometers. However, it is still greater potential for GD61 dwarf planet orbiting it also has the same size. 

"These findings reassure scientists that habitable planets besides Earth that actually exist and are still lurking outside the solar system," said Jay Farihi, Research Leader at the University of Cambridge. 

To date I've found 12 large rocks from the remnants of planets exoplanets-planets outside the solar system. And it is only this time the rocks were found to have oxygen and water. 

"The results of this study indicate that there is great potential for finding planets habitable exoplanets in a row," said Farihi.
