A planet 100 light-years away that is 70% larger than Earth and may be a complete ocean world with no landmasses.

Reports from the U.S. Naval War College note that the PLAN's distant-ocean survey fleet has more than tripled since 2015. 3. Other Interpretations Distant Ocean

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. A planet 100 light-years away that is 70%

A "Super-Earth" 48 light-years away that sits in its star’s habitable zone, potentially holding liquid water. 2. China's "Distant-Ocean" Survey Activities A "Super-Earth" 48 light-years away that sits in

In a terrestrial context, "distant-ocean" refers to deep-sea maritime operations, particularly those by the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and civilian researchers.

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.
