NASA announced a spacecraft that purposely slammed into the moon has turned up evidence of water.NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing

One week after NASA reported the probability of water on the moon, an Indian satellite, Chandrayaan-1, has found evidence water does indeed exist on Earth's moon.

In the hope of finding evidence of water ice deposits buried in one of the permanently shadowed craters on the moon, NASA's LCROSS satellite is due to hit its South Pole on Friday morning, according to the Associated Press.

With its "bombing" of the moon early tomorrow, NASA's LCROSS mission may beat a telltale signature of water out of a shadowy crater—and all you may need to see it is a good backyard telescope.

Making a bigger splash than expected, the crash of an empty rocket stage in a permanently shadowed crater near the moon's south pole last month kicked up a surprising amount of water ice and vapor, confirming the presence of a potentially valuable resource for future space travelers.

NASA smacked two spacecraft into the lunar south pole Friday morning in a search for hidden ice. Instruments confirm that a large empty rocket hull barreled into the moon at 7:31 a.m., followed four minutes later by a probe with cameras taking pictures of the first crash.

India’s first lunar mission found evidence of water on the moon, a spokesman for the Indian Space Research Organization said in a phone interview from the southern city of Bangalore today.

Close on the heels of finding water molecules on the moon, new results from India's aborted moon mission, Chandrayaan, show that the lunar surface is a strong source of hydrogen atoms.

Today NASA Shuttle Launch video is available. This is one of the last NASA space shuttle Discovery launches before the fleet is retired. There are 7 austronauts aboard the NASA space shuttle.
