Since man touched the Moon, scientits have thought that the lunar was dry.
But new findings, detailed in the Journal Science on last Septembe 25, related the evidence of "luna water ice".
This happened because two Nasa spacecraft intentionnally slammed into a lunar crater ( CABEUS) last month.
"It's very exciting" said Gregory Deloy ( University of California)
The regular surface of the Moon, as seen from Earth is drier than any desert of our planet. But there is a long time, the scientists thought that some places might be full of water.
If they really find big quantities of water, then this water could be an useful resource for the astronauts who are based on the lunar polar.
Mike Wargi the NAsa's dief lunar scientist said that this water could be a drinking water.
Scientists hope also that the water, in the form of ice accumuled over billions years could teach us a lot about the solar system.
This discovery is very important and we are now expeting further informations about the Moon. The problem is that President Barack Obama said the budgets are not enough to make an other mission until 2020.
