"Water Worlds of Endless Oceans" --NASA's Kepler Mission Reveals Planets Unlike Anything in Our Solar System (Today's Most Popular) - The Daily Galaxy --Great Discoveries Channel: "Astronomers discovered a "Water World" planetary system this past April orbiting the star Kepler-62. This five-planet system has two worlds in the habitable zone — the distance from their star at which they receive enough light and warmth that liquid water could theoretically exist on their surfaces.
Modeling by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) suggests that both planets are water worlds, their surfaces completely covered by a global ocean with no land in sight."
