Reading about that led me to this article about a water world that was discovered:
‘A giant waterworld that is wet to its core has been spotted in orbit around a dim but not too distant star’
With oceans 9000 miles deep (15000 km). For context the Earth’s diameter is 7900 miles (12700 km).
The imagination really does boggle at the thought. I think science fiction is going to have a hard time keeping up with the incredible science fact we are observing in our lifetimes.
