Parting Moon Shots from NASA's GRAIL Mission

Views of the Apollo 11 landing site from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, taken on separate occasions when the Sun was at different points in the sky over the site.

This image shows the locations of many spacecraft that have landed on the moon.

By combining years of LEND data, scientists see mounting evidence of hydrogen-rich areas near the Moon’s south pole, strongly suggesting the presence of frozen water.

Since the 1960s, scientists have suspected that frozen water could survive in cold, dark craters at the moon's poles.
