一阅读理解
The moon may hold frozen water in more places and in larger quantities than previously suspected. And for the first time, the presence of water on the moons sunlit surface has been confirmed, scientists reported. Thats good news for astronauts at future lunar bases who could tap into these resources for drinking and making rocket fuel.
More than 40,000 square kilometers of lunar surface have the capability to trap water in the form of ice, according to a team led by the University of Colorados Paul Hayne. Thats 20% more area than previous estimates, he said. These latest findings expand the possible landing spots for robots and astronauts.
The presence of water in sunlit surfaces had been previously suggested, but not confirmed. The molecules (分子) are so far apart that they are in neither liquid nor solid form, said lead researcher Casey Honniball of NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. And NASAs astrophysics director Paul Hertz said its too soon to know whether this water — found in and around the southern hemispheres sunlit Clavius Crater — would be accessible.
As for the shadowed areas believed to be rich in frozen water near the moons north and south poles, temperatures are so low that they could hold onto the water for millions or even billions of years. These so⁃called cold traps get down to minus 163 degrees Celsius.
Using data from NASA, the researchers identified the size of cold traps and used computer models to get all the way down to micrometers in size. “Since the little ones are too small to see from orbit, despite being vastly more numerous, we cant yet identify ice inside them,” Hayne said, “Once were on the surface, we will do that experiment.”
Scientists believe all this water on the moon came from comets, asteroids (小行星), interplanetary dust, the solar wind or even lunar volcanic eruptions. Theyll have a better idea of the sources “if we can get down on the surface and analyze samples of the ice,” Hayne said.

A. Water is extremely crucial for space exploration.
