Recent discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have highlighted planets that may be entirely covered by water. A planet 100 light-years away that is 70%

China operates a growing fleet of Type 636/636A distant-ocean survey ships. These vessels are equipped with "gondolas" (retractable structures) and acoustic sensors to map the seabed without interference from bubbles. China operates a growing fleet of Type 636/636A

This is the most famous candidate. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have detected methane and carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, suggesting a hydrogen-rich environment and a potentially massive liquid ocean.

Astronomers may have found traces of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) on K2-18b. On Earth, this molecule is only produced by life, specifically marine phytoplankton. However, researchers remain cautious as unknown chemical processes could also explain it. Other Candidates:
