Underground Ice on the Moon

No comments :
Tohoku university, Japan has found some mineral on the Moon. It is the first time to been found on a celestial body other than the Earth. Those were formed from water vapour under high air pressure. The study team announced that they found the mineral in the meteorites from the Moon. There is a possibility that water exists under the surface of the Moon. The water content is estimated to be 19 litres per one cubic meter of soil.

An associate professor of Tohoku university said "There might be a huge amount of underground ice on the Moon. The existence of water on the Moon makes it easier to use it as resources. For example, it can be used for making hydrogen fuel." They are hoping that the Moon can become a base for further space exploration.
