On the Moon, China finds hidden water in glass beads!

[ad_1] Mankind has been in search of planets which could support life one day should the need ever arise to leave Earth. Although there are more planets in the Universe than you could ever imagine, most have one substance missing which makes our Blue Planet so unique – Water. It is the elixir of life behind every living being on planet Earth. Shockingly, China has now found found water on a source not far from Earth – the Moon. Although the presence of water on the Moon was already confirmed by NASA's lunar orbiters back in the 1990s, another probe has now discovered a hidden water source on the Moon.Water found in glass beadsA Chinese probe has recently discovered a hidden water source on the moon which has been found locked in glass beads. About 1731 g of regolith samples were brought...

Shocking! NASA finds water near the South Pole of the Moon! Know what SOFIA has revealed

[ad_1] The first detailed, wide-area map of water distribution on the Moon is out. Yes, a new study using the now-retired Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has pieced together the map. With clear, identifiable lunar features marked out by the water data, the study provides hints about how water may be moving across the Moon's surface, particularly near its South Pole — an important area for space exploration."The new map covers about one-quarter of the Earth-facing side of the lunar surface below 60 degrees latitude and extends to the Moon's South Pole. Given the large region covered, the researchers could easily identify how water relates to surface features on the Moon, staying away from sunlight and favoring cold areas," NASA said in a report. “When looking at...

Does the Moon have Water? NASA scientist reveals

[ad_1] It can be difficult to know if water is present on the Moon or not. However, a NASA scientist revealed the secret. Is there water on the surface of the Moon? This question ignites excitement as it opens up so many possibilities for the human species out there in near space. To answer NASA Moon expert, Casey Honniball answered all the queries. You will be glad to know that the answer is “Yes!” But it is not like we found the presence of water on Earth. Surprisingly, water is available all over the surface of the Moon, but it is available in the form of ice and not pools of liquid water. Some places on the Moon have more water than others. Moon experts say that at the poles of the Moon are areas that never receive any sunlight, and so they're extremely cold, hence ther...

Wow! NASA finds water on Jupiter’s Europa moon; life possible?

[ad_1] The latest study suggests that the presence of water on Jupiter’s Moon Europa makes it habitable. Jupiter has four Galilean moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. And in a surprising development, NASA's scientists have found water on the surface of one of the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter. This study has been published in the Planetary Science Journal, which revealed that water exists on the icy crust of Europa moon of Jupiter. This also hints at the possibility of accessible liquid water bodies in the outer solar system. This also makes way for an important path of exploration of life beyond Earth.The study suggests that the water could be close to the surface of Europa at about 4 to 8 kilometers, which generally holds coldest and brittle ice. Some ...
