A new examination of a lunar meteorite revealed a mineral that could change our understanding of water on the moon, showing its crust was water-rich around 4 billion years ago.
Solar-wind hydrogen detected in NASA’s Apollo samples indicate that water on the surface of the Moon could provide a vital resource for future lunar bases and longer-range space exploration.
A fresh analysis of moon rocks brought home during the Apollo missions suggests the presence of hydrogen, implying future astronauts could access water available right in lunar regolith.
