Detecting foreign vapor of the solar system

Astronomers say they have just discovered water vapor in the atmosphere of a giant planet outside the Solar System. Steam was discovered on planet HD 189733b, thanks to the Spitzer infrared telescope of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA).

This is the second time the country has been discovered on a planet outside the Solar System. Earlier, on April 10, astronomers announced for the first time that they had found evidence of the existence of water on a planet outside the Solar System - planet HD 209458b.

Some researchers suggest that water can be present on all gas planets, Jupiter-like planets, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in the Solar System.

HD 189733b orbits a star in the constellation Vulpecula, 64 light-years from the Sun. Although there may be water on HD 189733b, the planet is still too hot for life to exist. It flies very close to the parent star, closer to the distance between the Earth - the Sun reaches 30 times, with the scorching heat of the day and is considered a ' hot Jupiter ' (only about 50 of the 200 planets It is known that the solar system is 'hot Jupiter' outside the solar system.
