Does Water On The Moon = More Water Elsewhere In The Galaxy?
Not necessarily. When you consider that the Moon and the Earth once impacted during Earth’s infancy, it only makes sense that hence some attributes of planet Earth would be transplanted on the Moon. When you also consider the fact that this event of impact between the Earth and the Moon happened a really long time ago, far beyond the time of the dinosaurs, this discovery of water on the Moon is filled with both happiness, as water is a key component for the maintenance of life on Earth, and quesitoning, as a lot of reseach lies ahead focused on examining this historic event.
Below are some questions I have formulated:
Does water on the Moon secure the idea that life in our universe is common?
Does the water found on the Moon have any significant differences compared to water found on Earth (Apart from being found on the Moon)?
What established water on the Moon?
Do the craters on the Moon suggest that Water, in the form of ice touched the surface of the Moon after impacts from comets and meteors?
Lastly, Can we find more water on the Moon?
