When did NASA found the water on moon?

NASA announced the discovery of water on the moon in October 2020. This discovery was made through observations by the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) telescope. The presence of water molecules was detected on the sunlit surface of the moon, challenging previous assumptions about lunar water distribution.


Did NASA find water on the moon If so How did they know it was water?

Yes, NASA found water on the moon. They detected water molecules on the lunar surface using an instrument onboard India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft called the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3). The presence of water was confirmed through the detection of the molecular signature of water-ice.


When was water found on the moon?

Water was first confirmed to be present on the moon in 2009 when the Moon Mineralogy Mapper detected signatures of water molecules in the moon's soil. Subsequent studies have found water ice in permanently shadowed regions at the moon's poles.


What important compound was found on the moon in 1998?

In 1998, water ice was discovered on the moon. This discovery marked an important milestone as the presence of water could potentially support future lunar missions and the establishment of human settlements on the moon.


Which Space Mission confirmed the presence of water in the moon?

Chandrayaan 1


What is the presence of form of water on earth's moon?

Water on the moon exists in various forms - as ice in permanently shadowed craters at the poles, as water molecules embedded in lunar soil, and as hydrated minerals. Recent missions have confirmed the presence of water molecules on the moon, although in limited quantities.


How did NASA recently try to prove there was water on the moon?

They had done big big explosions in the depth of Moon.Then, They applied a huge vacuum air sucker to gather the stones which were spread around ,here & there.After that, the spacecraft returned to Earth.The scientists examined stones and found water content in them.


Can you see the water on the moon at night if you look in your telescope?

No. The water on the moon is not in the form of liquid water (or even frost) on the surface and is not visible even through a telescope (certain kinds of imaging have detected signs of water, but not at visible wavelengths).


Does water exist on mars and on the moon?

Water exists on Mars in the form of ice at the polar caps and below the surface. On the Moon, water ice has been detected in permanently shadowed regions near the poles, but overall water presence is limited compared to Mars. Both celestial bodies have ongoing exploration to study and understand their water resources.


Why a rainbow is never formed on the surface of the moon?

A rainbow requires the presence of an atmosphere with droplets of water suspended in it. The moon has neither of those.


Was there water or lava on the moon?

no there was no lava or water That was originally believed to be true, but quite recently some water has been found present in rocks on the mood. However there is no lava, as the moon does not have a hot central core.


Is thunderstorms in both the earth in the moon?

Thunderstorms can occur on Earth due to the presence of water vapor and atmospheric conditions that create thunder and lightning. However, the moon does not have an atmosphere or water vapor, so thunderstorms do not occur on the moon.
