In 2009, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter discovered water on the Moon, or, to be precise, it found evidence of hydroxyl ions in minerals, thereby confirming observations made by India’s Chandrayaan-1 space probe of the same year. The photo shows underground “ice reservoirs” in the Cabeus, Shoemaker and Faustini craters at the Moon’s south pole.
