A new study has found that the moon's surface is covered with glass beads of soil, containing large amounts of water that can provide the reasons for the life of the human being.
The researchers analyzed the soil samples collected from the Apollo moon flights, and found that they contain water in the form of compounds called Hedroxalat.
The scientists said the water probably formed on the surface of the moon by the continuous flow of charged particles ejected from the sun, known as the "solar wind."
It is noteworthy that the traditional view that the Moon was totally Java has been proven to be incorrect in recent years, in addition to growing evidence that water droplets can be found on the icy surface.
In 2009, the satellite hit the American Space Agency (NASA), the door of a volcano on the surface of the moon, and shot to the top of a large block of steam scientists found they contain large amounts of ice unexpectedly. It also found small amounts of water in the form of powder and rock in the outer layer of the moon.
But despite discoveries prove the presence of water was the problem persists puzzled scientists is: Where does this water come from?
Now, a new study suggests to researchers from the University of Tennessee to the U.S. that the water produced on the surface of the moon did not reach him through the comet or any another piece of space debris.
It is known that the solar wind is a stream of particles that constantly swim away from the sun, and driven by the Earth's magnetic field away from the planet, but the moon has no such protection.
The researchers analyzed the soil samples and found that the chemical properties similar to the charged hydrogen particles in the solar wind.
The results indicate that the hydrogen brought to the surface of the moon in the solar wind, vehicles, and then combined with oxygen to form water similar Alheidroksilat which contain hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms, and then stored in the soil particles.
And said Zhang Iukso - which is one of the researchers - that "Our study shows that the water component hydroxyl widespread in lunar materials, although not in the form of ice or liquid water, can easily be used in future human lunar base."
He said study author Yang Liu "This also means that it is likely to be water exists on the planet Mercury and on asteroids such as Vista or Eros at a depth far within our solar system, and these objects planetary her environments are very different, but they all have the potential to produce water."
