Water has been found on a sunlit surface of the Moon for the first time, Nasa has announced.
The finding means water on the Moon may be more common and accessible than previously thought, but the discovery could have potential implications for future lunar missions.
Researchers suggest in some cases tiny patches of ice might exist in permanent shadows no bigger than a penny.
They explored phenomena on the Moon called cold traps, which are shadowy regions of the surface that exist in a state of eternal darkness.
It is thought that many have gone without a single ray of sunlight for potentially billions of years.

For nineteen years running, the Fly Fishing Show has lured more than 12,000 fly-fishing fanatics to the Denver Mart, bringing business to hundreds of exhibitors and generating upwards of $1 million for the local economy, estimates Ben Furimsky, the show s president.
But after the Denver Mart announced that it will close at the end of March, Furimsky and other event organizers were left without a venue for their 2021 shows. Under current COVID-19 restrictions, those shows would have been able to host no more than 100 visitors at a time, anyway but Furimsky worries the closure may affect not only events in 2021, but in 2022 and beyond.
