NASA revealed a new discovery about the Moon that confirms water has been found on the sunlit surface. The discovery was found using infrared instruments from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). As released in a live conference Monday morning, NASA revealed the news saying the discovery brings the idea forth that water may be distributed across various areas of the surface of the Moon, rather than solely in the shadowed, cold areas. "We had indications that H2O – the familiar water we know – might be present on the sunlit side of the Moon," Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington said.
