NASA Latest Updates: There is water on moon
NASA has announced that there is water on moon after it intentionally collided its LCROSS spacecraft with the lunar surface and examined the debris of this collision. Earlier Chandrayan had found evidence of this fact.
NASA HAS announced that there is water on the moon. The evidence of this water was discovered after the NASA spacecraft LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observatory and Sensing Satellite) discovered water ice beds at the lunar south pole, when it impacted the moon. Cabeus - the lunar south pole crater was intentionally impacted by LCROSS on Friday, October 9.
The LCROSS spacecraft, which was built at a cost of $79 million, crashed the lunar surface so that scientists could probe the debris for the presence of water. The project scientist Anthony Colaprete, who is also the principal investigator for NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffet Field, said "Indeed yes, we found water. And we didn't find just a little bit, we found a significant amount."
It might be remembered that Chandrayan, the Indian lunar probe had found evidence of water on Moon and shared the findings with NASA almost a month ago. Chandrayan has NASA’s lunar analysing equipment fitted on board.
For long, scientists have suspected that there is water on the surface of moon, particularly at its south pole, which is permanently shadowed by craters. These craters have frozen water since the temperature is cold. NASA has been analysing the debris of the lunar crater by its sensing satellite and is planning to launch a mission to the moon by 2020.

.Comets have ice on them, why not the moon?? And stop putting God in the picture of science, God created science, so what's wrong with science then? Our present knowledge has only touched the surface, there is so much more we don't know, so how can we judge the intent of God almighty then just by our present scenarios and understandings.
.Hey, why can't they land on the moon?? They sent a robot to Mars, didn't they?? With todays technology, why can't they land there?? Do you have to be in the moon to actually believe they did land on the moon??
Problem is, why would there be funding for any more moon trips?? When there's nothing in the moon to be worth bothering about!
.why did rain fall at place without falling at other place nearer to the raining place
.I think its just another one of NASA many hoax, like them landing on the moon-- no way in hell they landed on the moon with the type of technology they had back then. Scientist today are still trying to figure out how they did it/ if they really did it. They are just trying to spark excitement so they can get the funding they need so they can go to the moon.
.Huh, Being a Moslim, I cant imagine human life could survive without intent of God Almighty except Earth here we are inhabitated. But thinking in the eyes of science and technology my first question would be, "IS THERE SO MUCH GRAVITY LEVEL AT THE SURFACE OF MOON WHICH COULD CREATE ATTRACTION FOR THE WATER TO STAY AT SUCH PLACES / CRATORS, STORING DEEP AT SUCH CRATORS???"
by all, what i can know this that there is not so much gravity which would occur at once to make water storing in crators or water-pounds.
