Whether there has been water on the Moon or not is a heated debate.A very detailed examination of satellite photographs of the Tycho Meteorite Crater shows what appears to be a lake(A-Lake).
The nature of the Moon＇s surface has always been controversial. American scientists first suggested that there has been water and ice on the Moon （Watson et al., 1961）, a hypothesis supported by some but not other ...The nature of the Moon＇s surface has always been controversial. American scientists first suggested that there has been water and ice on the Moon （Watson et al., 1961）, a hypothesis supported by some but not other researchers （Compiling Committee, 2006; Ouyang, 2005; Wang, 2010）. So whether there has been or is any water on the Moon or not, is a matter of heated debate.展开更多
