by Dutch astronomer Ewine van Dishoeck (Leiden University, the Netherlands), together with an international team of colleagues, has written an overview of everything we know about water in interstellar clouds thanks to the Herschel space observatory.
Furthermore, the researchers have calculated that most new solar systems are born with enough water to fill several thousand oceans.
Ewine van Dishoeck: "It's fascinating to realize that when you drink a glass of water, most of those molecules were made more than 4.5 billion years ago in the cloud from which our sun and the planets formed."
