Data from Chandrayaan-1 indicates electrons from Earth help form water on Moon

The researchers found that these electrons are breaking down rocks and minerals on the Moon, potentially aiding in the formation of water. Understanding the distribution of water on the Moon is crucial for future human exploration and can help explain the presence of water ice in shaded regions. This finding suggests that the Earth and Moon are closely connected in ways that were previously unknown.
