Scientists Find Ice in Dark Places on the Moon

The Moon looks dry and empty. But scientists found ice there. The ice is in dark places near the Moon’s poles. The sun does not shine in these places.

Ice is frozen water. If people go to the Moon for a long time, they will need water. Ice can be melted to make drinking water. It can also help make oxygen and fuel.

Robots and spacecraft studied the Moon. They sent information back to Earth. Scientists used this information to find the ice.

This discovery is important for future space travel. It may help astronauts stay on the Moon longer.
