I'm very sceptical about this one ..

How on earth can the H=O bonds stay together close to a star ?
They don't mention in the article how close the vapour is to the star surface but irrespective of that, how do the bonds stay intact at 1000 degrees ? What about the radiation outflows, etc ?

I'll have to read up more on this one.
Seems to be an advert for the super-human "Herschel team".

Cheers
