The report besides finds that meaning agreement of sea worlds begins past times studying our ain planet. "Progress needs to survive made inwards the surface area of collaborations betwixt footing sea scientists as well as extraterrestrial sea scientists," Hendrix said. "In addition, to map out a coherent sea worlds program, meaning input is required from studies hither on Earth; rigorous query as well as analysis studies are called for to enable closed to hereafter sea worlds missions to survive thoughtfully planned as well as undertaken."
The newspaper defines an sea public equally a torso amongst a electrical flow liquid ocean, non necessarily global. All bodies inwards our Solar System that plausibly tin have, or are known to have, an sea are considered inwards this framework. The footing is a well-studied sea public used equally a reference as well as indicate of comparison. Ice giant planets are non included equally sea worlds.
"The overarching destination of an sea worlds program, should survive to position sea worlds, characterize their oceans, evaluate their habitability, search for life, as well as ultimately sympathise whatsoever life nosotros find," Hendrix said
