This is certainly the news of the week in the field of science: Monday, October 26, NASA released a report revealing that the presence of water on the Moon was in fact more abundant and accessible than previously thought. until then. “It’s not about lakes or blocks of ice, warns Jean-Christophe Batteria, however, in the 11pm edition of Friday October 30. But these are water molecules trapped in dark interstices on the Moon. “
Where could this water come from? “Two theories have emerged, explains Jean-Christophe Batteria. EIt can originate from asteroids, as these are often loaded with ice. Or the flow of hydrogen ions coming from the Sun and which, when they reach the lunar rocks, form the famous H2O molecule. “ The presence of water on the Moon is, in any case, likely to simplify life on a lunar base.
