- The NASA scientists, using data from the Chandrayaan-I spacecraft, confirmed that there are frozen water deposits in the darkest and coolest parts of Moon’s Polar Regions.
- Most of the newfound water ice lies in the shadows of craters near the poles, where the warmest temperatures never reach above minus 156 degrees Celsius (-250 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Due to the very small tilt of the Moon's rotation axis, sunlight never reaches these regions.
- Chandrayaan-1 was India's first mission to the moon launched on October 22, 2008.
