NASA 7 groundbreaking lunar discoveries!
NASA has made seven groundbreaking lunar discoveries, including evidence of water ice at the Moon’s poles, insights into its volcanic history, and detection of a global magma ocean beneath its crust. Other findings include the Moon’s tectonic activity, helium-3 resources, its shared origin with Earth, and solar wind interactions on its surface.
1. Water Ice on the Moon (2009)
NASA’s Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission found water ice in the permanently shadowed craters near the Moon’s poles.
2. Lunar Exosphere (2013)
NASA’s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission revealed the Moon’s thin atmosphere, composed of helium, neon, and argon.
