NASA’s experiment with the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) has proved what many have been suspecting all along – that water on the moon could be more widespread and in greater quantity than previously speculated. Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS project scientist and principal investigator at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, announced the discovery using five words: Indeed, yes, we found water.

The impact made headlines in world media, but it wasn’t visible with a naked eye as many hoped. The crash did, however, generate the debris that NASA’s spacecraft analyzed for signs of water. The space vehicle has collected huge amounts of dat
