Earth's bounty of liquid, life-giving water is notunique.The solar system is teeming with ocean worlds, including ice-covered moons like Saturn's Enceladus and Jupiter's Europa. Beneath their thick, icy shells arevast volumes of water that may be habitable to extraterrestrial life.To that end, NASA is holding a press conference Thursday to present "new results about ocean worlds in our solar system," and discuss how that information will impact "the broader search for life beyond Earth."NASA's new discoveries stem from the Hubble space telescopeand theCassini probe, which is scheduled to commit suicide this summer in the clouds of Saturn.In 2015, Cassini revealed that Enceladus had aglobal subsurface ocean, and thatwater was spewing out of cracks in its icy crust. Hubble has helped show that Europa also harbors its own globe-spanning ocean.You can watch the space agency's big briefing on NASA TV (below) starting at 2 p.m. EDT on Thursday, April 13.In a press release for the briefing, NASA noted that the new results will affect the space agency's multi-billion-dollar Europa Clipper mission.NASA also said it will take questions during the live-video announcement' anyone can submit queriesusing the #AskNASA hashtag on Twitter.In addition to streaming the briefing on YouTube, NASA will also host a feed on its own site.SEE ALSO:Earth has very little water compared to these moons in the solar systemDON'T MISS:NASA will destroy a $3.26 billion Saturn probe this summer to protect an alien water worldJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Scientists are gearing up for a space mission that could solve the biggest mystery about Saturn's water-rich moon
