Comment on Scientists Discover The Oldest, Largest Body Of Water In Spaceparent

Comments

I recall (from the last time this was posted) that its like a few molecules of H2O per cubic meter. So more like a 'cloud of water vapor' or even 'a cloud of water plasma'.

It was made by the expanding shock wave from a supernova, through a gas cloud of mostly hydrogen. Lots got fused to oxygen, and then they combined. The tremendous amount of water is because its a vast expanding volume of space.
