Water On Moon? Help Please. ?

Question

I was readying in some magazine that some scientists believe there might have been water on the Moon. They matching up the picture of a site on the moon with similar kinds on Earth. Can any of you help me find some information about this? Thank you if you can.

Answer 1

Many comets and asteroids carry water ice with them and during the early period of formation of Solar system too many of them were coming and hitting earth and moon.

The polar areas of the moon have craters always hidden from Sunlight and astronomers expect there will be water ice there.

Some tests done by crashing a moonprobe into this area did not give any result.

Answer 2

In addition to water in craters, water has recently been discovered in the lunar soil. This lunar soil was part of the material brought back from the Moon by Apollo astronauts. Not much, of course.  Quite a bit of the lunar soil consists of these little glass beads.  Some of them are volcanic in origin (some are ejecta from meteor impacts).  In any case, some of the volcanic beads have little bits of water trapped inside the beads.  This suggests that the Moon had water well after it's formation.  It was an unexpected result.

Answer 3

There is water in craters that are so deep that they never receive sunlight. This would be mostly at the poles.

Answer 4

when the moon (theoreticaly) collided with the earth, or rather another planet that spit out the moon, there was lots of hydrogen and oxygen. its only logical that some took off with the moon, or was even created there due to the close proximity to where our own planet was created.

i wouldnt doubt to find trace ammounts of water on all the planets in our solar system.

Answer 5

There are only trace amounts of water on the Moon's surface.
