A team of NASA scientists using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy \u2014 a Boeing 747 with a telescope at the rear of its fuselage \u2014 found evidence of water on the moon in areas where the sun shines, according to CNET<\/a>. The findings point to \u201cwidespread hydration,\u201d according to research published in Nature Astronomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis discovery reveals that water might be distributed across the lunar surface and not limited to the cold shadowed places near the lunar poles,\u201d Paul Hertz, director of NASA\u2019s astrophysics division, said, according to The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Water in those areas of the moon would most likely be hard for astronauts to collect and study; however, some researchers have also reported more shallow depressions in the same sections of the moon could be cold enough to crater water for at least millions of years.<\/p>\n

These water deposits could be a \u201cgame changer\u201d by making it easier for future astronauts to be able to access them, researcher Paul O. Hayne, a professor of astrophysical and planetary sciences at the University of Colorado, said. This could have a big impact on future missions since astronauts might be able to drink the water found there.<\/p>\n

The water molecules could also be broken down to hydrogen and oxygen atoms. As a result, astronauts would be able to use the oxygen to breathe. As an added bonus, future astronauts could use both the hydrogen and oxygen as rocket propellant to return to earth or possibly travel to Mars and other planets years from now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
