Nasa strikes water after moon crash

It might not be quite as exciting as life on Mars, but water on the moon is surely the next best thing. Nasa scientists yesterday announced that a probe that was deliberately crashed into the moon's southern polar region last month discovered at least 25 gallons of water.

"Yes, we found water," said Anthony Colaprete, a principal project investigator at Nasa's Ames research centre in California. "We didn't find just a little bit, we found a significant amount."

Scientists hailed the discovery as a success and finding water is a huge boost for future missions. Most believe the likeliest places for water are at the poles of the moon, where there are craters in permanent shadow.

Scientists hope future study of the probe's findings could shed light on the evolution of the solar system, in the same way as an ice core sample taken from deep beneath the earth's surface reveals data on ancient geological events.
