Water molecules on Lunar surface
NASA scientists have discovered water molecules in the polar regions of the moon. Water molecules are greater than predicted , but still relatively small.
Hydroxyl, a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom, also was found in the lunar soil.
NASA's Moon Mineralogy Mapper, or M3, instrument reported the observations. M3 was carried into space on Oct. 22, 2008, aboard the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft. Data from the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer, or VIMS, on NASA's Cassini spacecraft and the High-Resolution Infrared Imaging Spectrometer on NASA's EPOXI spacecraft contributed to confirmation of the finding. The spacecraft imaging spectrometers made it possible to map lunar water more effectively than ever before.
The M3 team found water molecules and hydroxyl at diverse areas of the sunlit region of the moon's surface, but the water signature appeared stronger at the moon's higher latitudes.

I use these cards as a part of reunion of my friends / my relatives. I store these cards up to Dec month and send these post cards as a surprise in the eve of New Year & for X-Mas greeting. In fact, If I send a SMS thru a mobile it will be remembered only for a while or a day. These cards will be a special and sweet memory. These days sending greeting cards or post cards has been decreased a lot by us. For almost 5yrs I didnt even post single greeting or post card to my friends or my family members or even my relatives. sending cards to some one, it would be really a thrilling experience . Just try it.

dont use post or greeting card <- this is going to the most common response given the era we all are in. For UPrinting (and not for winning any contests :) ) my response is- I would use the postcards to send Diwali greetings to friends and family. It's different, long forgotten and rest assured will bring a smile to any recipient. To add on, and again for UPrinting benefit-capture unique photos, or Natgeo like sites to gain coverage. See bing.com as an example. Millions of users are visiting this new search engine not for comparing against google but the constant changing images and messages.
The winners will be contacted by sponsors very soon. Thank you everyone.
