A new study has found that the water we drink and use for daily chores was formed in interstellar space long before the Sun came to life. The new finding may help indicate towards the missing link for water in our solar system.

Water that you drink and use for daily chores was formed in the interstellar space long before our Sun came to life, a study has revealed, finding the missing link for water in our solar system.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, astronomers detected gaseous water in the planet-forming disc around the star named `V883 Orionis` about 1300 light-years away from Earth.
