Its raining … on the Moon?!
Scientists have discovered that water is being released on the lunar surface during meteor showers.
And then, when the event was over, the H2O or OH went away.
The mission collected detailed information about the exosphere a faint envelope of gases around the Moon.
NASA explained how meteoroid showers could release water on the Moon.
This concentration is much drier than the driest terrestrial soil and is consistent with earlier studies.
With each impact, a small shock wave fans out and ejects water from the surrounding area.
Meteoroid strikes can transport water both into and out of cold traps.
However, the team ruled out the possibility that all of the water discovered came from the meteoroids themselves.
