Our Solar System Has Water Everywhere! Partial List Of Water On Planets, Moons And Asteroid Belt

Caption: This representation of the Occator crater in false colours shows the differences in the surface composition. Red corresponds to a wavelength range around 0.97 micrometres (near infrared), green to a wavelength range around 0.75 micrometres (red, visible light) and blue to a wavelength range of around 0.44 micrometres (blue, visible light). These images were taken with the aid of the camera system aboard NASA’s Dawn space probe from a distance of 4425 kilometers. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA
