How to Find Lunar Ice? Moonquakes to the Rescue!
The surface of the Moon is a bleak and forbidding place that might be hiding a lot of water ice on and under the dusty landscape. However, most possible ice deposits don't just stand out in an image. You need specialized mapping to find traces of water ice. So, scientists have devised another way to find the Moon's frosty hidden reserves. They use seismic waves from moonquakes as locator beacons.
Researchers from the University of Maryland, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of Hawaii have developed a groundbreaking method for locating ice deposits on the Moon using seismic waves generated by moonquakes. The technique, published in the journal Science Advances, could facilitate the exploration of essential water resources for future lunar missions. Groundbreaking method for locating lunar ice The new method is base…
