APOD 1.7

Water below the Moon's surface, seen in blue

Water has been discovered below the surface of the moon. In 2000, the LCROSS moon-orbiting spacecraft was crashed into the surface of the moon, in a shadowed crater near the south pole. The resulting dust from the impact shows evidence of ice below the surface. This could be good news for the future of a Moon base.
