Scientists discovered that our solar system may have had water before the sun and planets formed.

"Using ALMA, astronomers have detected the chemical signature of gaseous water in the planet-forming disc V883 Orionis. This acts as a timestamp for the water’s formation, allowing us to trace its journey.

In the beginning, the supernova connection in the forming of water...

When a supernova explosion happens, that thing makes a very powerful shockwave through the universe. If that shockwave impacts the interstellar cloud formed of hydrogen and oxygen. The shockwave may push hydrogen and oxygen together. 

That thing makes it possible. Hydrogen and oxygen can form water molecules when supernovas' shockwave impacts hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The impact must be gentle enough. That hydrogen will not make a fusion with oxygen. The universe is full of molecular clouds where is hydrogen and oxygen. 

The supernova detonations can turn part of those clouds into water. But there are many other visions about the origin of water in the universe. And maybe, that origin is one of the many ways how is water forms in the universe. Maybe the water's origin on all planets is individual. And that means there is no universal model of how planets get their water layer. Things like volcanic activity in very cold worlds can explain part of their water ice layers. But water layers on very small planets are always a mystery. 

There is forming water in the universe. The protostar V883 Orionis or V883 Ori has a high enough temperature that the water in its circumstellar disk turned to gas. That thing means that the water can be older than the solar system. And in some very interesting hypothesis, the water can synthesize in the atmosphere of the protostar. 

"V883 Ori is a unique protostar whose temperature is just hot enough that the water in its circumstellar disk has turned to gas, making it possible for radio astronomers to trace the water’s origins. New observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have provided the first confirmation that the water in our Solar System may come from the same place as the water in disks surrounding protostars elsewhere in the Universe: the interstellar medium.

"V883 Ori is a remarkable protostar that boasts a temperature that is just hot enough for converting water in its circumstellar disk into gas. This gas can be studied by radio astronomers to trace the origins of the water. Recently, ALMA observations have verified that the water in our own Solar System may have the same source as the water found in disks surrounding protostars in other parts of the Universe – the interstellar medium.

Which nuclear reactions do not yet begin? That thing requires that there is oxygen and hydrogen in that molecular glimpse. If the protostar turns too hot. Water will turn back to hydrogen and oxygen because of very high radiation levels. The fact is that water must from somewhere. And when we are looking at many hypotheses about the origin of the water. 

We are facing one very interesting thing. The place where water forms must have so low temperature that burning can happen. And in that system where water molecules are forming must be hydrogen and oxygen. So the molecular cloud where the water molecule is forming must be a remnant of the star where the fusion reaction formed oxygen. 

If the temperature of the place where oxygen and hydrogen are is too hot. Or its radiation level is too high, which means water cannot form because hydrogen and oxygen cannot react. There is the possibility that brown dwarfs are playing some kind of role in the water's origin. 

Those late-M spectral class stars can have the right conditions that water can form in their high atmosphere. And maybe some planet gets their water layer when they get close to their star. And if there is hydrogen and oxygen in its atmosphere the temperature of the star can start a chemical reaction where hydrogen connects to oxygen.
