The scientific community becomes aware of the possibility of the presence of water, water vapour, or even ice, and telescopes from all over the world are directed at the target celestial object. A rocky exoplanet orbiting its star has been discovered to contain water vapour by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Water vapour signals were discovered orbiting the stony planet GJ 486 using JWST's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec).
