NASA'S SOFIA Discover's water on sunlit surface of moon! 🌑

Interesting News!!  NASA showing the H20 particles on the moon. Credit: NASA official NASA's SOFIA - Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy has confirmed for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the mini. This discovery indicates that water may be distributed across the Lunar surface, Not limited to cold, shadowed places.  This can also be proof that it will rain on the moon occasionally. And the presence of water may also be proof of how water originated on Earth. SOFIA has detected water molecules (H20) in Clavius crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the moon's southern hemisphere. The picture showing Clavius crater Credit: Wikimedia Commons Previous observations of the Moon’s surface detected some form of hydrogen but were unable to distinguish between water and its close chemical relative, hydroxyl (OH).  Data from this location is equal to a 12-ounce bottle of water - trapped in a cubic meter of soil, that is spread ac...

Stay tuned for the next blog!  This planet also has the same characteristics as any other planet. In fact, It looks like our Jupiter's big sister! : What might have happened? Scientists believe that gravitational forces might have flung this planet away from its star, leaving it in the middle of nowhere with no company. ...
