Water found on Moon surface

My earlier post was Was moon bombing a success now LCROSS team has successfully found water on permanently shadowed lunar crater . The team was able to observe 25 liters of water with spectroscopic telescope.

The team has also found some components such as Sodium and Carbondioxide which they are analysing.

The impact created by the LCROSS Centaur upper stage rocket created a two-part plume of material from the bottom of the crater. The first part was a high angle plume about 10-12 meters across of vapor and fine dust and the second a lower angle ejecta curtain of heavier material. This material has not seen sunlight in billions of years.

Lunar scientists are trying to find out that how the water has come, whether by comets , meteorites or by some process in moon or the moon surface is creating water.

This is a magnificent break through for the explorers but the mistry question still remains will we be able to live or survive there one day? just a thought.

It is amazing, although I can't see us building cities on the moon quite yet.

First I have to thanks for this information. I think this discovery increase the chance of discovering any living creature on Moon.

I can't believe that our moon can have water in it. If it came from comet, where did the comet get it. Very interesting. :-)

its a great find, now perhaps the day will come when small colonies will be setup on the surface of the moon [or inside it]
cheers!
