Mucho ice, everywhere some of it not H2O though...just guessing here but I think H2O at near absolute zero is like steel.
Another guess, Water bullets from a Sun are ejected at velocity because water and heat are not chemically inert, nor are the innards of the Sun itself.

research showing another physical state of water they hadn't noticed before
http://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/05/sc...ne-uranus.html
from another article:
The researchers, with the benefit of supercomputers, were able to tweak and untune a computational model of water, making it behave like other liquids. “With this procedure,” Russo said, “we have found that what makes water behave anomalously is the presence of a particular arrangement of the water’s molecules, such as the tetrahedral arrangement, where a water molecule is hydrogen-bonded to four molecules located on the vertices of a tetrahedron,” a shape of four triangular planes. “Four of such tetrahedral arrangements can organize themselves in such a way that they share a common water molecule at the center without overlapping,” Russo said. As a result, when water freezes, it creates an open structure, mostly empty space and less dense than the disordered structure of liquid water, which is why water props ice up. Both highly ordered and disordered tetrahedral arrangements give water its “peculiar properties.” The paper’s title spells this out: “Water-like anomalies as a function of tetrahedrality.”
