Water on the moon?
NASA: there’s water on the moon
NASA confirmed with a cheeky about the presence of lunar agua today: “The argument that the moon is a dry, desolate place no longer holds water.”
NASA’s LCROSS spacecraft crashed onto the lunar surface one month ago, sending up a plume of moon dust to be analyzed. It’s the amazing discovery of plume that has yielded.
“We are ecstatic,” Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS principal investigator said. “Multiple lines of evidence show water was present in both the high angle vapor plume and the ejecta curtain created by the LCROSS Centaur impact. The concentration and distribution of water and other substances requires further analysis, but it is safe to say Cabeus holds water.”
Perhaps not enough water to fill lunar pool, but maybe enough to prove useful to our future exploration of the moon.
