Water is abundant in natural environments but the form it resides in planetary interiors remains uncertain. We report combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscopy measurements of H2O in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell up to 150 gigapascals (GPa) and 6500 kelvin (K) that reveal first-order transitions to ices with body-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) oxygen lattices above 900 (1300) K and 20 (29) GPa, respectively. We assigned these structures to theoretically predicted superionic phases based on the distinct density, increased optical conductivity, and greatly decreased enthalpies of fusion. Our measurements address current discrepancies between theoretical predictions and various static/dynamic experiments on the existence and location of melting curve and superionic phase(s) in the pressure-temperature phase diagram indicating a possible presence of the conducting fcc-superionic phase in water-rich giant planets, such as Neptune and Uranus.
