Uhhh, read it again:
about 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so the water is not liquid, but rather atoms of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, the building block of water. When it gets into space and the molecules interact with the dust surrounding the star, however, and the atoms probably combine to form water ice.
Spewing out H and O is different from spewing out H2O.
It's awsome to contemplate how the Oxygen in question was forged late in the lifecycle of another previous and now dufunct star .
Probably. That means that it's only a theory.
