Billions of tons of water in shards of glass scattered on the moon


Astronomers, analyzing some of the samples taken from the moon, have discovered that the lunar surface is covered with tiny pieces of glass, containing billions of tons of water. According to experts, this means that the moon has a highly accessible source of not only water but also hydrogen and oxygen.

which could be adapted and used by astronauts on future lunar missions. Mahesh Anand, professor of planetary science and research at the Open University in the UK, says this is an important discovery. With this discovery, the ability to sustainably probe the Moon may be greater than ever before.

A team of Chinese scientists previously analyzed fine glasses brought back to Earth from the lunar surface by China’s Chang’e 5 mission in December 2020, finding that the glasses formed when meteorites Hit the moon. As a result of this collision, hot and molten materials were scattered in the air and fell to the surface and then cooled and became part of the lunar soil.
