NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter found new evidence of
possible water ice in craters near the south pole of the moon.
Some craters have regions that look bright, with increased
reflectance when illuminated with laser pulses sent from the
spacecraft. Temperature readings reveal areas where it’s cold
enough for water ice to be stable. Areas that are both very
cold and bright could be the places where water ice exists on
the surface as frost.
