On the opposite side of the Earth— farthest from the moon where the moon’s gravity is the weakest—we experience high tide because the rest of the Earth is being pulled away from us, towards the moon. It gives us more options for potential water sources on the Moon," said Hannah Sargeant, a planetary scientist from the Open University in Milton Keynes, told BBC News.

There's Water and Ice on the Moon, and in More Places Than NASA Once Thought - Future astronauts seeking water on the moon may not need to go into the most treacherous craters in its polar regions to find it". We had indications that H2O – the familiar water we know – might be present on the sunlit side of the Moon,” said Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. If true, this would indicate that the neutron results from Lunar Prospector were primarily from hydrogen in forms other than ice, such as trapped hydrogen molecules or organics. By looking at the relative amounts of different isotopes of these volatiles in lunar rocks, scientists like Prof. Scientists know today that some of this water evaporates when the moon's top layers get warmed up by sunshine.

Scientists have gathered some of the most compelling evidence yet for the existence of water on the moon – and it may be relatively accessible. About 29 percent of the near side of the Moon contains basalt, but it’s only found on about 2 percent of the far side of the Moon. The satellite carries two instruments—a high-resolution spectrometer, which will detect and map different forms of water, and a thermal mapper. Use your Moon water to create art in the name of your mystic expression—whether by water coloring, tie dying, or the like—and use it as a practice to be messy, to enjoy the ride, to create for the sake of it.

Use this Moon water for a face mask, to clean your altar, to make fire cider, or whatever else feels invigorating.Hidden inside the minerals in the rocks are tiny quantities of chemicals such as zinc, potassium, copper, chromium and even water, which was also found to exist in small frozen deposits in meteorite impact craters on the lunar surface last year. Upstairs, six days a week, you can get a good, solid lunch—for example, a cut off the joint, two vegetables and boiled jam roll—for about three shillings.
