53. Are there bodies of water on the Moon? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
There are no bodies of water on the Moon like on Earth, or the frozen lake they just found on Mars. On the Moon we know that there's hydrogen in the dark craters at the poles. We hope that this is in the form of water, but if it is it's likely mixed all throughout the regolith, and may be more like frozen concrete than a block of ice.
