LCROSS Finds Water on the Moon
Scientists at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View announced today they've found water on the moon -- a lot of water. The discovery was made by the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, known as LCROSS, which was intentionally crashed into a crater near the moon's south pole last month. LCROSS researchers say the lunar water could prove to be an important aid to future expeditions to the moon -- and that it could unlock many secrets about the history of the solar system.
