As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was acquired during the planet’s formation.

The oceans are the largest entity on Earth’s surface. All that blue, however, may be dwarfed by an immense reservoir of hydrogen concealed in the planet’s heart. Experiments indicate that enough ...
