A planet like the movie ‘Waterworld’ was discovered by a group of researchers
Scientists have recently discovered an ‘ocean planet’ that bears an uncanny resemblance to the 1995 Kevin Costner action film ‘Waterworld’.
They said, the planet is located 100 light years from earth and is completely covered by a thick layer of water.
The planet orbits one of two small stars located in the constellation Draco and was discovered by an international team of researchers.
The research team was led by Charles Cadieux, a doctoral student at the Université de Montréal and a member of the Institute for Exoplanet Research (iREx).
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s space telescope, TESS, allows researchers to scan deep space for near-Earth planetary systems.
