Scientists find water particles on the surface of moon
A new study suggests that the moon's surface is covered with glassy grains of water, which contain a good amount of water and can sustain human life.
A RESEARCH conducted on a sample of soil collected from the moon by the Apollo mission has found that the soil contains water in the form of hydroxyls. It is believed that the water is formed on the surface of moon by a stream of charged particles called 'solar wind' that are ejected from the sun.
The researchers say that the compound hydroxyl is widespread on the surface of the moon, but water is not in the form of liquid or ice, it exists as glassy grains of water, according to The Telegraph.
