China Announces It Has Found Water Under The Moon’s Surface

Exoplanets and moons, on which space researchers have been working for many years, have opened the door to many exciting discoveries. Although many questions of humanity have been answered so far, the number of questions whose answers are unknown is just as large. One of them is whether there are civilizations like us in the universe. ‘ Researchers, who have not come across such a civilization until now, continue their search for ‘water’ that will enable their eyes to the smallest unit of life.

Now, China has announced that they have found the water we are looking for in the corners of the galaxies on the Moon. In the study conducted by scientists working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, the information from the China National Space Administration that there is water under the surface of the Moon was shared. It is stated that the data from the exploration vehicle named Chang e-5, which landed on the surface of the Moon on December 1, 2020, was analyzed.

In the article published in a journal called Science Advances, it is stated that the research team used various methods to examine the surface of the Moon with radar. “This mission is like a trip to the Moon,” said Lin Honglei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is the first time that we are working on detecting water under the surface of the Moon with such a high resolution,” he said.

Scientists have long argued that the Moon has remnants of ice and water. With this discovery, it is discussed that there may be a water source for the missions planned for astronauts on the Moon. Unsatisfactory results were obtained from the mysterious cube shape discovered by China recently. It is hoped that this discovery will not suffer a similar fate.
