Water, water everywhere on the Moon
There's millions of tons of water on the moon's north pole, NASA reported this week.
The vast source of water could one day be used to generate oxygen or sustain a moon base.
A NASA radar aboard India's Chandrayaan-I lunar orbiter found 40 craters, ranging in size from one to nine miles across, with pockets of ice.
Scientists estimate at least 600 million tons of ice could be entombed in these craters.

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
