Explore our solar system in the search for the most precious resource – water!
The Earth stands alone as the only planet in the solar system covered with vast oceans of water. But water can be found in many places other than Earth if you know where to look.
Launch off planet Earth for a tour of our solar system in search of water. Visit the giant ice mountains on Pluto, sail through jets of salty water erupting from Saturn’s tiny moon Enceladus and plunge into dark shadowy craters on scorching hot Mercury. This hunt for water will take you across the solar system to explore unexpected places.
