现于月球的水阱 让太空人能用来喝水

 

在月球上，水可能比过去想像的更加普遍，将能提供「所有NASA需要的东西」，给未来的月球任务。

​

自然供给的水让太空人能自己补水，并且提供燃料给其他太空计画。

​

研究人员指出，在某些情况下，小块的冰可能存在于永远阴暗处。这种月球现象称为冷阱，为月球表面的阴暗地区，存在于永恆的黑暗中。

​

许多冷阱被认为已经在数十亿年没有1束阳光的状况下消失了。科学家们相信，可能有比先前推测数据更多的阱。

Water traps found on Moon that astronauts can use for drinking 

 

Water could be more common on the moon than previously thought in what would provide "everything that NASA needs" for future lunar missions.

​

Natural supplies of water there would allow astronauts to hydrate themselves and help to provide fuel for other space projects.

​

Researchers have suggested that in some cases tiny patches of ice might exist in permanent shadows. This lunar phenomena, called cold traps, are shadowy regions of the moon’s surface that exist in a state of eternal darkness.

​

It is thought that many of the cold traps have gone without a single ray of sunlight for potentially billions of years. Scientists believe there may be a lot more of these traps than previous data had suggested.
