The exoplanet GJ 1214b is a so-called "Super Earth" - bigger than our planet, but smaller than gas giants such as Jupiter.

Observations using the Hubble telescope now seem to confirm that a large fraction of its mass is water.

The planet's high temperatures suggest exotic materials might exist there. 2012/2/21 19:35 http://www.gistudio.info/modules/fmcontent/content.php?topic=fmcontent-topic-1&id=1&page=distant-waterworld-is-confirmed
