New NASA research: Water and humans can be found on the Moon, so come back soon

As announced at the beginning of 2019, NASA will re-launch tasks related to the Moon, namely bringing people back to this Earth's oldest satellite.

But in fact, any NASA mission often encounters conflicting opinions. The majority supported it, but some of the ideas were not exciting, believing that the Moon had nothing to study, and focused on investing only humanity's money.

The moon actually still has many interesting things.

There are still many interesting things, according to researchers from the University of California, Moon. For example, they believe that the surface of the Moon contains more water (in the form of ice) than what humans imagine, and this has great implications for the future tasks involved. to this satellite.

Specifically, by comparing the dark patches - the area is not touched by the Sun - with similar patches on Mercury, scientists believe that thick ice can still exist on the Moon, but specifically It is probably in this southernmost satellite. This area has no light from the Sun, the temperature can drop to -233 ^o C, and thus can contain a lot of ice.

Experts analyze data from NASA's Messenger ship - a type of exploration robot that has been in orbit Mercury for four years. Mercury also has dark patches that almost never touch the sun, and there seems to be ice. Meanwhile, the Moon has been proved in 2009 to contain ice already, but the number is unknown.

NASA believes that the moon's Antarctic may be holding water.

In another study at the beginning of July 2019, experts from NASA's Goddard Aerospace Center believed that the Moon's Antarctic might be containing water . However, this study from the University of California shows that the amount of water the Moon holds is greater than what humans imagine.

The moon has no atmosphere, so the entire surface will suffer radiation from the Sun. If the surface has water, the water molecules will be sucked and pushed out into space . "So people believe that some of the 2-pole arrays of the Moon are capable of holding water below the surface," said study author William M. Farrell.

"Even so, the impact of the solar wind and meteors is unpredictable. Everything is unthinkable, " Farrell said.

Currently, it is still not known exactly how much water is being retained on the Moon. However, the mystery is completely deserved for people to continue to return and explore more satellites over 4 billion years old.

The study is published in Nature Geoscience.
