Astronomy Cast Ep. 705: Water Worlds - Looking For Life Beyond Earth by Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Streamed live January 17, 2024. Wherever we find liquid water on Earth, we find life, so it makes sense to search for water across the Universe, and hopefully we can find evidence of life. But what about worlds which are completely covered in water, oceans hundreds of kilometers deep. Can there be too much water?

    The search for life on water worlds is a fascinating endeavor, but I wonder if we're overlooking other more fundamental aspects of what makes life possible. Could the complexity of organic molecules and energy sources be more crucial than simply having liquid water? #BeyondEarthSearch #LifeAsWeKnowIt
