Recently using observations from NASA transiting exoplanet survey satellite.
Tests backed up by ground based telescopes an international team led by the university of montreal announced the discovery of a distant planet that they think could be completely covered in water, a planet that is potentially rocky like earth.
The planet is called TOI-1452 b and it is located around 100 light years away from Earth, in the Draco constellation.
orbiting a red-dwarf star TOI-1452, in the star's habitable zone.
The planet is thought to be around 70 percent larger than Earth and nearly five times heavier. It orbits its star once every 11 days or so. It also orbits in a binary star system, in which two stars orbit one another at a distance roughly two-and-a-half times that from our own sun to Pluto.
What is interesting about the TOI-1452 b is that evidence suggests it might be an ocean world.
Analysis has suggested that water might make up as much as 30 percent of the planet's mass—a proportion similar to some solar system moons like Titan or Ganymede.
