LCROSS

New data has revealed that the lunar soil within shadowy craters is rich in useful materials, and that the moon is chemically active and has a water cycle.

The NASA LCROSS mission that was to shed more light on the presence of water on the moon looks like it has done just that with preliminary data indicating the mission successfully uncovered water in a permanently shadowed crater.

The lunar impact of NASA's Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite is being broadcast live on NASA's own TV channel on October 9th
