Scientists Find a New Way To Detect Hidden Water Ice on the Moon
By studying how seismic waves move through frozen soil on Earth, a geophysicist helped develop a more effective method for detecting water ice on the Moon. Beneath the Moon’s permanently shadowed polar craters, water ice may lie hidden beyond the reach of instruments in orbit. Researchers now think those buried deposits could be located by [...]
Researchers from the University of Maryland, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of Hawaii have developed a groundbreaking method for detecting hidden ice on the Moon. The technique uses seismic waves to identify the presence of frozen water in permanently shadowed craters, where orbiting instruments cannot reach. Innovative method for detecting lunar ice The new method is based on analyzing the behavior of seismic waves as…
