چکیده
LCROSS hints of increasing volatile concentration at increasing depths, to 3 meters or more into the Moon, as indicated by amount of water seen as the event developed. [1] In comparison new epithermal neutron results indicate that within the first two meters depth of regolith resides a desiccated layer in the top 0.4 meters. LRO’s LEND (Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector) found 4% water-equivalent hydrogen in Cabeus versus 5.6 ± 2.9% dug out by LCROSS. [2] These agree, but may indicate more water at greater depth at the impact.

متن کاملWater in and on the Moon: recent discoveries and future prospects
The Moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor and the only other planetary body that has been visited by human beings. It is believed to have formed through a collision between the young Earth and an impactor ~ 4500 million years ago. The geological history of the Moon seems to be intimately associated with that of our own Earth. Therefore, through lunar studies, we can also gain further understanding o...
متن کاملWater on the surface of the Moon as seen by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper: Distribution, abundance, and origins
A new thermal correction model and experimentally validated relationships between absorption strength and water content have been used to construct the first global quantitative maps of lunar surface water derived from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper near-infrared reflectance data. We find that OH abundance increases as a function of latitude, approaching values of ~500 to 750 parts per million (ppm...
