Yesterday I Mentioned That NASA Was Going To Make A Statement About The Moon,

and they did,

there is water on the moon! this illustration highlights the Moon’s Clavius Crater with an illustration depicting water trapped in the lunar soil there, along with an image of NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) that found sunlit lunar water, credits: NASA/Daniel Rutter, the US space agency has revealed conclusive evidence of water on our only natural satellite, this "unambiguous detection of molecular water" will boost Nasa's hopes of establishing a lunar base, the aim is to sustain that base by tapping into the Moon's natural resources, the findings have been published as two papers in the journal Nature Astronomy, unlike previous detections of water in permanently shadowed parts of lunar craters, scientists have now detected the molecule in sunlit regions of the Moon's surface, the new discovery was made from an airborne infrared telescope known as Sofia. This observatory, on board a modified Boeing 747, flies above much of Earth's atmosphere, giving a largely unobstructed view of the Solar System, using this infrared telescope, researchers picked up the "signature" colour of water molecules, the researchers think it is stored in bubbles of lunar glass or between grains on the surface that protect it from the harsh environment, in the other study, scientists looked for permanently shadowed areas - known as cold traps - where water could be captured and remain permanently. They found these cold traps at both poles and concluded that "approximately 40,000 kilometres squared of the lunar surface has the capacity to trap water" exciting news indeed, presumably for future, well a long time in the future water will not have to be brought to the moon, just thaw out the water that is already there!
