US-India three devices found in the moon the moon water
According to the British “The Times” reported on the 23rd, since humans first set foot on the moon of the land, and the moon rock samples brought back to Earth, scientists believe that the lunar surface has been dry and hard. However, the US-India three space probes the latest observational results will be completely subvert this view, because they found the water all over the surface of the moon’s “conclusive evidence.”
3 spacecraft to provide evidence of water
According to reports, India’s first lunar probe “Chandrayaan-I” lost contact before the return of the data show that there is a lot of water on the lunar surface.
In 1999, the “Cassini” spacecraft crossed Saturn’s moon, and North Korea embarked on.
The spacecraft detected a slightly higher intensity of water / OH signal, confirmed the “Chandrayaan-I” found. “Cassini” was to obtain data show that the water distributed throughout the lunar signal, on the sea near the Arctic, as well as the lower regions, the water seems to be more intense the signal. The United States, “Deep Impact also reveals the state of the entire lunar surface in the aquifer.
Paul Luo Lase University of Hawaii in the study of these three comments that: “All three offer the discovery of the spacecraft of hydroxyl or water, there is conclusive evidence.” Faced with these new data, it must be held to revisit the Moon The “drought of the world” this has always been the view. Lasse did not participate in any study.
One ton of soil containing 900 grams of water
Research team members, the University of Maryland astronomer Sang Saini said: “It’s stuck in the lunar surface soil, we always put the moon as a place where there is no vitality, it was somewhat like the dynamic processes that are taking place.” But to Since the three different detector observations showed that over the lunar surface chemical characteristics of water, but the number was very small, a ton of lunar surface soil contains about 32 ounces (about 900 grams) of water.
It is reported that this breakthrough will be the United States Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the 24th a press conference to formally announce.
20 years to build a lunar base
“The Times” in the article pointed out that for working with China and other Asian countries, India, space race, this was found to have very great significance, which greatly increased India’s competitiveness in the field of space exploration, even though its current This game is still lagging behind.
For a long time, scientists hope the astronauts to the moon to establish a base, but only where to find water. This is obviously encouraging news, human beings to establish a base on the moon within 20 years may no longer distant dream. (According to China Daily)
