Water Discovered in Moon Shadow

This picture shows the moon. Earlier last month water was discovered on the moon. The LCROSS mission investigated a permanently shadowed crater near the Moon's South Pole. The LCROSS took of with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on June 18, 2009 at 2:32 p.m. In this picture you can see a plume of dust. Earlier this week we heard news about this dust's chemical compound. The dust plume had water traces in it. This new information changes what everyone had thought about the moon and now gives astronomers many more posibilities, like live on the moon. This discovery is very impressive and I look forward to hearing more about the moon's aspects.
