Water Released from Moon During Meteor Showers

The video explores the Moon's sparse atmosphere and the discovery of water. Initial missions suggested a dry surface, but recent missions like Chandrayaan-1 and LCROSS found water, especially in polar craters. Laddie data reveals that micrometeoroids release water from the Moon's surface, particularly during meteor showers. This water is protected by a dry soil layer and is released when impacted by large micrometeoroids. The study of these phenomena is crucial for future lunar exploration, as it provides insights into the Moon's water distribution and geological history.
