Probers Confirm Water On Moon

Washington, D.C. (AHN) – Three lunar probers equipped with NASA instruments that map mineral composition has confirmed the existence of water on the Moon.

The presence of water on the Moon was confirmed in one of three papers published in the journal Science. According to one of the papers, a Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) onboard the Indian satellite Chandrayyan-1 detected light waves indicating a chemical bond between oxygen and hydrogen.

Larry Taylor of the University of Tennessee, co-authored the paper.

One ton of lunar soil consists of 25 percent water, Taylor said.

Two other probers that detected water on the Moon were, the U.S. spacecraft Cassini and Deep Impact.
