Description

Astronomy is a very humbling experience. Throughout the entire existence of humanity we have looked up at the night sky and the heavens with an everlasting wonder. We always wondered if someone else could be looking right back at us as we were looking towards them. It is the forefront of the human species to be curious, to question, to wonder, and to explore. Our search for answers on if we are one of only or one of many in the universe is no different from our own natural curiosities. As we have looked more thoroughly into the cosmos, we have begun to see that the water on Earth is not one, but one of many planets and moons to have liquid water. Even from within our own solar system, there are planets and many moons that are known to or may possibly have liquid water or liquid lakes on or under their surfaces. Let’s explore the great possible water worlds of Mars, Ganymede, Enceladus, Europa, Titan, Callisto, Ceres, Dione, Mimas, Triton, and, of course, Earth
