a size equal to or greater than Jupiter exoplanets that have been named WASP-17b, HD209458b, WASP-12b, WASP-19b and XO-1b. Only downside, they all have extremely high temperatures as too close to their star. All forms of life are therefore seems impossible in the present state of our knowledge.
short, but you will most certainly included, are traces of water in gaseous form that detected.
However
This discovery is good news for scientists to better manage better identify water molecules including very remote distances.
To go further, especially additional details you should know that the full results of these observations have been published in the scientific journal “The Astrophysical Journal”.
