NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter found new evidence of

2
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.
