Water, moonquakes, volcanoes: Six big discoveries we've made about the Moon since the first landing
FirstpostThe Moon has always been a magical place in all folk tales, and these 6 discoveries only make it more magical! Scientists at NASA have also found that the lunar surface could act as a ‘chemical factory’ that produces the ingredients for water, making it easier for future human colonies on the Moon to sustain themselves. Detected using instruments that flew on the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft in 2008, ISRO scientists have confirmed the existence of ice on the Moon’s surface, a discovery that could one day help humans survive there. Volcanoes: When dinos walked Earth, volcanoes flowed on the Moon Discoveries by NASA’s Lunar Renaissance Orbiter indicate that the Moon could have had volcanic flows up to just tens of millions of years ago, during Earth’s dinosaur age. Well, the part of Earth that faces the Moon gets pulled by the Moon’s gravity, which creates the “tidal bulge”.
