Is there water on the MOON? Scientists claim frozen water could exist on our satellite
Frozen water has been found on the surface of the moon for the first time following the use of high tech satellite scans. Experts say they have detected ice in areas of permanent shadow in the moon's polar regions. They used an imaging technique that can tell different types of water apart, including that on the surface, absorbed into the soil, or bound in minerals. Water has previously been found in the moon's soil, but this is believed to be the first time it has been detected on the surface. Surface water ice was only located in around 3.5 per cent of the moon's shadow covered areas.
