India's famous space agency ISRO has made a big revelation regarding the secrets of the Moon. A recent study conducted by ISRO scientists has found increasing evidence of the possibility of water ice in the polar craters of the Moon. According to an article published in the International Society for Remote Sensing Journal. Surface ice within the first few meters of the lunar surface The amount of surface ice in the first few meters of the Moon is about 5 to 8 times greater in both the northern and southern polar regions. This discovery has important implications for future lunar missions and long-term human presence on the Moon.
The discovery of ice on the lunar surface could prove to be a game-changer for future exploration of lunar water. Drilling on the Moon to sample or excavate this ice will be important to support future missions and establish the possibility of life on the lunar surface. Furthermore, the study also shows that the amount of water ice in the northern polar region is twice that of the southern polar region.
Water on the Moon may have come from volcanic eruptions
This study of the Moon confirms the hypothesis that the primary source of water ice at the lunar poles originated during volcanism during the Imbrian period, 3.8 to 3.2 billion years ago. Canyons and maria (dark, flat plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions) were formed by intense volcanic activity. The results also conclude that water ice may have been caused by volcanic impact.
The research team used seven instruments on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), including radar, laser, optical, neutron spectrometer, ultra-violet spectrometer, and thermal radiometer, to understand the origin and distribution of water ice on the Moon. .

The phenomenon of finding water on the moon is amazing
This phenomenon of water ice at the poles of the Moon is very important. Because this will help determine the possibility of future life on the Moon as well as select future landings and samples for ISRO's future exploration and characterization missions. The findings of this study are based on previous studies of ISRO. In which the possibility of presence of water ice in the polar crater of Chandrayaan-2 was expressed.
