  • New Study Explains Puzzling Presence of Molecular Hydrogen Observed in NASA's LCROSS Mission

    Discovering molecular hydrogen on the Moon was a surprise result from NASA's Lunar Crater Observation Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission, which crash-landed the LCROSS satellite's spent Centaur rocket into the Cabeus crater in the permanently shadowed region of the Moon. Now, nearly four years later, scientists from the University of New Hamsphire and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center believe they have discovered the reason behind the mysterious metamorphosis of the Moon's water ice.
