So, the rumors of the hidden WW II German base on the dark side of the moon may be true after all?

"We mainly think the water is in glass," Honniball said.

And apparently their glass is half full.

“.... was that comment meant to be a double or triple entendre??

I meant it as a single entendre ...but i suppose it could be more than one. :)

Simple question:

If sunlight never touches it, then how are you getting light to image it?

It's official. There's water on the Moon.

Permanently shadowed regions where lunar water may exist. (NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre)

Why of Why don't people believe the media?

Shoot, all anyone need do is hit the moon with 2.4Ghz to see if the cheese melts.

Ok, so it’s simply a matter of assigning the color blue to the desired geological structure! IT’S GOTTA BE WATER!! WOOHOO!

On the other hand, skipping stones on moon water would be a Guinness record!!

I suppose it is nice to detect actual water but it is not a surprise. What is the most common element in the universe? Hydrogen. What is the second most common element in the universe? Helium. Also first and second on the periodic table. What is the third most common element in the universe? Oxygen! Followed by carbon. Eight and sixth on the periodic table, respectively. That makes water, methane and carbon dioxide the most probably abundant compounds in the universe.

I don’t think you followed my question. If no light is bouncing off the ice (due to it’s in the shadow of a crater) then HOW do you get the wavelength of light that struck the ice?

Duh.

It’s like tying to take a picture in a completely dark room. Photons have to strike the object if you want an image!

The only way around this is hit it with a laser, but that won’t work due to the freq issue....so you would have to have ONE BIG powerful white light on the satellite - which aint happening neither....

Does not pass the smell test - sounds like they wanted the result.....

The gas giants of the solar system are mostly hydro carbon gasses ———— 3rd grade science.

Asimov speculated in one of his many shorts and novels that the underground habitats of humanity’s lunar future would encounter “springs” consisting of buried ancient ice, and the heat of the habitats would slowly melt them away.
