NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter found new evidence of

00:00:04,538 --> 00:00:09,443
possible water ice in craters
near the south pole of the moon.

00:00:09,443 --> 00:00:12,479
Some craters have regions that
look bright, with increased

00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:15,649
reflectance when illuminated
with laser pulses sent from the

5
00:00:15,649 --> 00:00:20,120
spacecraft. Temperature readings
reveal areas where it’s cold

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,591
enough for water ice to be
stable. Areas that are both very

7
00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:28,028
cold and bright could be the
places where water ice exists on

8
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:31,265
the surface as frost.
