01. Is there any natural water anywhere in space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Yes. In fact, all of the water we see here on Earth originally came from space. Water is created by combining two basic elements found almost anywhere we look, Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O). Hydrogen, Helium, and Oxygen are the most plentiful elements that we know of in our Universe, and can be found thinly spread throughout space or concentrated in and on many objects and planetary bodies.
