AFTERNOON UPDATE — NASA spacecraft discovers water on the moon

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — It turns out there’s plenty of water on the moon — at least near the lunar south pole, scientists said Friday.

“Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit, we found a significant amount,” said Anthony Colaprete, a principal project investigator at NASA’s Ames Research Center.

The discovery came from an analysis of data from a spacecraft NASA intentionally crashed into the moon last month.

Colaprete estimated the impact kicked up at least 25 gallons of water.

Significant water would make it easier to set up a base camp for astronauts.
