NASA discovers that meteoroids are depleting the moon’s water supply businessinsider.in

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists have discovered that water is released from the moon as meteoroids strike the surface. Scientists had long speculated that meteorite impacts could have such an impact, but this is the first time that they’ve actually observed the phenomenon — but it also shows that meteoroid impacts release water faster than the moon can replace it. Even so, these findings go a long way in helping the scientific community understand the history of lunar water and its continued evolution as well as help them understand how water on the moon can be a potential resource for future exploration endeavours — on the moon and in deep space.
