Oh, I forgot about the water bit.....
Below is a picture of NGC 7027. It is a planetary nebula at a distance of around 2600 light-years from earth. An instrument called a The Long-Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) has detected masses of water vapour in this region (in space). The chances are that many of the planets within the nebula also contain water.
There is an immense amount of water out there and only now are we able to find it.
