Astronomers have detected a large amount of water vapour in the protoplanetary disk around a young star. There’s at least three times as much water among the dust as there is in all of Earth’s oceans combined. And it’s not spread throughout the disk; it’s concentrated in the inner disk region. No water means no life‚ so finding this much water in the part of a protoplanetary disk where rocky planets form is an intriguing discovery. And this isn’t just any disk. It’s a cold‚ stable disk‚ the type most likely to form planets. The findings are presented in a new paper published in Nature Astronomy. It’s titled “Resolved ALMA observations of water in the inner astronomical units of the HL Tau disk.” The lead author is Stefano Facchini‚ an astronomer at the Dipartimento di Fisica‚ Università degli Studi di Milano‚ Milano‚ Italy. “I had never imagined that we could capture an image of oceans of water vapour in the same region where a planet is likely forming‚” said Facchini. The star‚ HL Tau (HL Tauri)‚ is a young star about 450 light-years away. It’s likely less than 100‚000 years old‚ making it a prime observing target in the quest to understand planet formation. When it comes to seeing inside the gas and dust surrounding young stars like this‚ ALMA is our best tool. One of ALMA’s first high-resolution images is of HL Tau and its disk. The image shows rings in the disk that indicate where young planets are probably forming. This is the sharpest image ever taken by ALMA — sharper than is routinely achieved in visible light with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It shows the protoplanetary disc surrounding the young star HL Tauri. These new ALMA observations reveal substructures within the disc that have never been seen before and even show the possible positions of planets forming in the dark patches within the system. Image Credit: ALMA HL Tau has always intrigued scientists‚ and now that they’ve detected such a large amount of water vapour in its planet-forming disk‚ the young star is an even more compelling target for observations. “These observations pave the way to the characterization of the water content of the inner regions of protoplanetary disks‚” the researchers write in their paper. “The tremendous angular resolution and sensitivity of the ALMA telescope‚ even in spectral ranges of low atmospheric transmission‚ are providing spatially and spectrally resolved images of the vapour of the main water isotopologue in a planet-forming disk.” Not only did ALMA detect the water‚ but it also determined where it is in the disk and how much of it there is. “Our analysis implies a stringent lower limit of 3.7 Earth oceans of water vapour available within the inner 17 astronomical units of the system‚” the researchers write in their paper. When planets take shape in a protoplanetary disk like the one around HL Tauri‚ they clear out lanes in the dust. Nothing else is likely to create the tell-tale gaps that signal the presence of young‚ still-forming planets. We have the powerful ALMA to thank for this understanding. “It is truly remarkable that we can not only detect but also capture detailed images and spatially resolve water vapour at a distance of 450 light-years from us‚” said study co-author Leonardo Testi‚ an astronomer at the University of Bologna‚ Italy. The spatial resolution Testi is referring to is thanks to ALMA. The radio interferometer allowed astronomers to see how the water vapour is distributed throughout the disk. “Taking part in such an important discovery in the iconic HL Tauri disc was beyond what I had ever expected for my first research experience in astronomy‚” added Mathieu Vander Donckt from the University of Lie?ge‚ Belgium‚ a master’s student when he participated in the research. ALMA is a radio interferometer‚ meaning it observes wavelengths from 0.3 mm to 3.6 mm‚ which correspond to the range from 84 GHz to 950 GHz. In this study‚ the researchers observed different “flavours” of water molecules at different temperatures. “We observed HL Tau in two different ALMA bands (band 5‚ originally developed with the goal of studying water in the local Universe‚ and band 7) to target three transitions of water‚” the researchers explain. This figure from the research illustrates some of the findings. The blue line is water detected by ALMA at 321 GHz‚ a high-excitation state for water vapour. The yellow line is water detected at 183 MHz‚ an important diagnostic line used in remote sensing of water vapour. Both lines indicate more water vapour in the inner regions of the disk. Image Credit: Facchini et al. 2024. The observations didn’t just find water in the inner region where rocky planets form. It found water in one of the gaps that indicate a planet is sweeping up disk material and adding it to its mass. “Our recent images reveal a substantial quantity of water vapour at a range of distances from the star that includes a gap where a planet could potentially be forming at the present time‚” said Facchini. The natural conclusion is that the water is becoming part of the planet. These results are all thanks to ALMA’s power. It’s the only facility we have that can detect water in a disk like this. “To date‚ ALMA is the only facility able to spatially resolve water in a cool planet-forming disc‚” said study co-author Wouter Vlemmings‚ a professor at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. ALMA’s different observational frequencies capture water as it transitions‚ and part of this research looks at water as it’s liberated from dust particles. The relationship between water and dust in a planet-forming disk is important. Where it’s cold enough for water to freeze onto dust particles‚ the particles stick together more readily‚ aiding the planet formation process. “It is truly exciting to directly witness‚ in a picture‚ water molecules being released from icy dust particles‚” said Elizabeth Humphreys‚ an astronomer at ESO who also participated in the study. Some of what astronomers see in the disk around HL Tauri is like a window into the past. Our planet formed in a similar way‚ and the same processes and mechanisms must be similar from disk to disk. “Our results show how the presence of water may influence the development of a planetary system‚ just like it did some 4.5 billion years ago in our own Solar System‚” Facchini said. ALMA really flexed its muscles in this work‚ and the facility has played a primary role in our study of protoplanetary disks around young stars. But upcoming telescopes will surpass ALMA and give us even deeper‚ more detailed looks inside the dusty‚ obscured disks. The Extremely Large Telescope is due to see first light in 2028. Its powerful METIS (Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph) will give us unprecedented insight into the process of planet formation.

If future explorers manage to set up communities on Mars‚ how will they pay their way? What’s likely to be the Red Planet’s primary export? Will it be Martian deuterium‚ sent back to Earth for fusion fuel? Raw materials harvested by Mars-based asteroid miners‚ as depicted in the “For All Mankind” TV series? Or will future Martians be totally dependent on earthly subsidies? In a new book titled “The New World on Mars‚” Robert Zubrin — the president of the Mars Society and a tireless advocate for space settlement — says Mars’ most valuable product will be inventions. “We’re talking about creating a new and potentially extremely inventive branch of human civilization‚ which will benefit humanity as a whole enormously‚” he says in the latest episode of the Fiction Science podcast. “But moreover‚ we’ll play from that strength to make money.” Zubrin isn’t waiting until humans step foot on Mars to get started. “We are in the process of drawing up business plans for two major initiatives — one in the artificial intelligence area and the other in the synthetic food production area‚” he says. “And the idea is‚ fairly soon we’re going to be presenting these business plans to investors‚ with the idea of starting companies devoted to these two different technological ideas that we have put together.” Zubrin says it’s too early to reveal exactly what these companies would do‚ but he claims the ventures have the potential to become extremely profitable. The AI concept could be “a billion-dollar idea‚” he says. “They’re both addressing critical questions for Mars that have tremendous terrestrial spin-off potential‚” Zubrin says. Income from the ventures would be split between investors and the Mars Society‚ which would use the funds to support a Mars Technology Institute. “We just did a fundraising drive and raised $150‚000 to get this thing started‚” Zubrin says. Robert Zubrin is the founder and president of the Mars Society. (Credit: Mars Society CC BY-SA 3.0) Once things get rolling‚ Zubrin envisions setting up a headquarters for the institute — perhaps in the Pacific Northwest or in Colorado (where the Mars Society is currently based). The concept of using earthly ventures to support off-Earth adventures is by no means new. Back in 2015‚ when SpaceX founder Elon Musk was recruiting engineers for the Starlink satellite internet network‚ he said the profits from Starlink would go toward funding a city on Mars. “Looking in the long term‚ and saying what’s needed to create a city on Mars — well‚ one thing’s for sure: a lot of money‚” Musk told an audience of about 400 techies (including prospective employees) in Seattle. “So we need things that will generate a lot of money.” Zubrin says the challenge of establishing settlements on Mars will promote invention in the same way that the challenges facing pioneers in the United States led to innovations ranging from steamboats to light bulbs to iPhones. “Mars is even going to be much more technologically selective in terms of who goes there‚ and also a much more challenging environment‚” he says. “It’s going to be America to the third power in terms of what it will be able to invent.” He argues that settlers will be forced to innovate when it comes to developing nuclear fission and fusion plants for energy‚ finding ways to conserve and recycle resources for sustaining Martian communities‚ and maximizing food production amid the planet’s harsh conditions. All those innovations can then be exported back to Earth. Zubrin has laid out the case for Mars settlement in a series of books that goes back to‚ well‚ “The Case for Mars” in 1996. He also wrote a fictional account of a crewed mission to Mars‚ titled “First Landing.” And he has appeared in more than a dozen TV shows about Mars and space exploration‚ including “Mars‚” a National Geographic series that blends science fiction and science fact. “The New World on Mars” deals with thematic territory that spreads out much more broadly than what was covered in “The Case for Mars.” And Zubrin says SpaceX’s rise is the reason why. For years‚ Musk and his team have been focusing on development of a reusable super-heavy-lift launch system known as Starship. The next test flight could take place within weeks — and it’s likely to be only a matter of time before Starship offers a reliable way to get to Earth orbit and beyond.  Musk envisions building a fleet of the rockets to send thousands of settlers to Mars‚ in line with his long-term ambition to make humanity a multiplanet species. “The New World on Mars: What We Can Create on the Red Planet” by Robert Zubrin. (Diversion Books) Zubrin assumes that Starship or something like it will be a success — which means there’s less need to dwell on the nuts and bolts of interplanetary transport in “The New World on Mars.” “This book essentially says‚ ‘Look‚ it’s soon going to be possible for humans to go to Mars‚’” he says. “So the key question is not how do we do that‚ but what do we do when we get there?” Zubrin goes into great detail about how Mars’ harsh realities could affect every aspect of daily life‚ from energy production and terraforming to marriage and parenthood. For example‚ he suggests that Martians might clean their clothes simply by airing them out in the Red Planet’s low-pressure‚ bacteria-killing environment. Zubrin went so far as to test the technique by stuffing dirty clothes into a laboratory vacuum chamber. “The only downside is that stains are not removed‚ so they don’t look clean. One remedy for this would be to use camo coloration for clothes‚ as it does not show stains‚” he writes. “I predict this will be the style.” “The New World on Mars” is more optimistic about Red Planet settlement than “A City on Mars‚” a book by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith that was featured on Fiction Science last November. That book argues that the drive to create space settlements is premature — and that a host of uncertainties need to be cleared up first. For example‚ the Weinersmiths say that much more research should be done on the potential effects of Mars’ reduced gravity on human reproduction and development. They also raise concerns about the potential international conflicts over property rights in space. As you’d expect‚ Zubrin strongly disagrees with such views — in his book‚ on the podcast‚ and in a book review published by Quillette. “They say there’s no point going into space. There’s nothing to be gained from it‚ and therefore‚ there should be laws to stop it‚ which makes no sense whatsoever‚” he says. In Zubrin’s view‚ the 1967 Outer Space Treaty’s prohibition on claims of national sovereignty won’t tie the hands of Mars settlers. Instead‚ it would make it easier for them to stake their own claims. “If a Martian colony is set up‚ and declares property rights within its vicinity‚ [governments on Earth] have no jurisdiction to contradict it‚” Zubrin says. “They have explicitly signed away their rights to interfere with Mars settlement.” And what about the health effects of living on Mars? “OK‚ so yeah‚ we don’t know about the long-term effects of one-third gravity on people‚ but we’ll find that out‚” Zubrin says. “When we send our first exploration missions to Mars‚ I believe it’ll be OK.” The way Zubrin sees it‚ the main attraction for Mars settlers won’t be deuterium‚ or asteroid riches‚ or shiny red obsidian. It’ll be something money can’t buy: the freedom to create. “I believe that there’s nothing more powerful than the creative power of life‚” he says. “The grass finds a way to break through the pavement. Life finds a way. … And freedom is going to find a way.” Check out the original version of this posting on Cosmic Log for Red Planet reading recommendations from Robert Zubrin.
