The breakthrough comes from researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, who set out to replicate the harsh lunar ...

Scientists confirm the Sun's charged particles can create water on the Moon. Learn how solar wind interacts with lunar soil.

Lunar samples show evidence that solar wind could be behind the water molecules on the moon's surface, according to NASA. The results could shine a light on how water ice collects in cold traps formed ...

According to NASA, the water that's been detected on the moon follows an interesting pattern — it changes on a daily cycle. Areas warmed by the sun release water as vapor, while colder regions ...

"With only lunar soil and a basic ingredient from the sun — which is always spitting out hydrogen — there's a possibility of creating water." Future moon astronauts may find water more ...

Scientists and space explorers have been on the hunt to determine where and how much ice is present on the moon. Water ice ...

Water ice on the Moon has always been seen as a cornerstone for future exploration. It could provide drinking water, oxygen, ...

Using dust from two different samples picked up on the moon by NASA's Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972, Yeo and her colleagues first baked the samples to remove any possible water they could have ...

Water is considered an important resource for the future colonization of the moon: as drinking water, as well as a supplier of hydrogen and oxygen for breathing air and fuel. However, the prospect ...

Scientists are using cutting-edge techniques to track water ice on the Moon—an essential resource for future space missions.
