Water is much more widespread in space than astronomers previously believed: it exists from the surface of Mars to
Previously it was assumed that water appeared duringformation of the solar system, but there is growing evidence that it is much more dynamic in space. Even though the solar wind is one of the sources of water on the Moon, computer models predict that almost half of the liquid should evaporate and disappear from the moon within about three days of the full moon.
However, liquid from the surface of the Moon does not disappear induring this period of magnetospheric shielding. Previously it was believed that the problem was the Earth's magnetic field, which blocks the solar wind. However, this is not the case.
Researchers have compared timing and appearancethe surface of the Moon during and after the passage of the magnetosphere. As a result, the authors of the work found out that the lunar water can be replenished by streams of magnetospheric ions, or the so-called "earth wind".
Scientists plan to continue their exploration of the Moon with more powerful technology to find the best regions for future exploration of the satellite, as well as mining.
