New type of planet

According to Al Jazeera, US Scientists have identified a new type of planet. It is a planet composed not of rock or gas, but of water.

The planet in question GJ1214b was discovered in 2009. It was initially believed to be covered mostly in water with a temperature far higher than our own.

Hubble telescope information helped validate that claim. Scientists say that the high pressure high temperature of the planet would likely create some interesting scenarios.
