FfFfFfFF 58,378 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Scientists have gathered some of the most compelling evidence yet for the existence of water on the moon – and it may be relatively accessible. The discovery has implications for future missions to the moon and deeper space exploration. With no significant atmosphere insulating it from the sun’s rays, it had been assumed that the moon’s surface was dry – until the 1990s, when orbiting spacecraft found indications of ice in large and inaccessible craters near the moon’s poles. Now, Casey Honniball at Nasa’s ASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, US, and colleagues have detected a chemical signature that is unambiguously H2O, by measuring the wavelengths of sunlight reflecting off the moon’s surface. The data was gathered by the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (Sofia), a modified Boeing 747 carrying a 2.7-metre reflecting telescope. The water was discovered at high latitudes towards the moon’s south pole in abundances of about 100 to 400 parts per million H2O. “That is quite a lot,” said Mahesh Anand, professor of planetary science. “It is about as much as is dissolved in the lava flowing out of the Earth’s mid-ocean ridges, which could be harvested to make liquid water under the right temperature and pressure conditions.” Source: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/oct/26/water-exists-on-the-moon-scientists-confirm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSlash 14,539 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Well, ofc it is . Meteorites carry water with them in ice form and the moon gets bombarded with them all the time. Or how do you think water came to Earth? Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
