Scientists have confirmed the presence of frozen water deposits in the darkest and coldest parts of the moon’s polar regions using data from the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, which was launched by India 10 years ago, Nasa said on Tuesday. With enough ice sitting on the surface — within the top few millimetres — water would possibly be accessible as a resource for future expeditions to explore and even stay on the moon, and potentially easier to access than the water detected beneath the moon’s surface.
