Officials at NASA say that a crater on the moon hold vast quantities of water in the form of ice, a discovery that could pave the way for future mission to the Earth satellite.

New research shows there may be frozen water inside a massive crater, called the Shackleton crater, say NASA scientists. Researchers from NASA, MIT, and Brown University say they studied the crater with the help of a laser device, and they note that recorded measurements indicate the presence of ice. The team of astronomers say the laser lit up the area and allowed them to measure the natural reflectivity inside the crater.
