Astronomers confirm: Water found on distant star

Astronomers discovered water on the surface of a distant astral body, Army Radio said Thursday. The discovery suggests that the star, called HD209458B, has an atmosphere - a layer of gasses surrounding it, similar to Earth's. The star is four light years far from Earth, and its surface atmosphere is a staggering 1100 degrees centigrade. HD209458B is part of the Pegasus constellation and can be seen with a simple, amateur-grade telescope.
