Since time immemorial, humankind has looked to the stars and woven stories about the origins of life. Ancient cosmogonies speak of water as the cradle of existence, a notion that resonates deeply with what modern science has confirmed. Water has flowed through the Universe since its very birth, playing an indispensable role in shaping the galaxies, nurturing the growth of stars, and whispering to the void of space. Yet even now, despite our ever-deepening understanding, water refuses to yield all its secrets. Outside our blue planet, we know of water only in its frozen or vaporous forms, unable to dance as it does here on Earth. Our world’s delicate balance of temperature and pressure gifts us this remarkable fluid, one that has sustained life for eons. Liquid water's presence is more than a scientific marvel—it is the quiet heartbeat of life's endless rhythm, a reminder that our existence is cradled by something truly extraordinary.
