Researchers found evidence that traces of water were inside meteor craters and were trapped in tiny particles of matter – similar to tiny snowballs.
While trying to understand the origin of these strange numbers of water, many experts speculate that this water is caused by interactions between the Earth and the Moon, supported by both the atmosphere and the magnetosphere. Although water is an indispensable part of life, water is not a scarce resource in space. As long as there is a “depression”, water can exist inside a meteorite or hide under a thick layer of ice from a cold celestial body.
Considering the relatively “close” distance between the Earth and the Moon, the splashing water from our house to Mrs. Hang’s house is not too hard to believe. However, when exposed to the sun and cosmic radiation all day long, the water on the Moon’s surface is unlikely to last for long.

To account for more humidity than expected on the Moon, scientists propose a hypothesis: water is formed from protons “rain” produced by the solar wind. The hydrogen ions collide with the mineral oxides found in dust and moon rocks, causing the chemical bonds to break down, thus having the basis to combine with oxygen to create water. This hypothesis seems very plausible, and we should be able to confirm it by continuing to observe the water molecules exposed to the harshness of the universe.
The earth is protected by the magnetosphere against countless ions emitted by the Sun. This shield not only covers the roof of humanity, but is also blown away by the solar wind and forms a drop of water. Over a period of several days per month, the Moon will partially cross the magnetosphere and be temporarily shielded from the Sun.
Most recently, a group of scientists from many countries used the Japanese Kaguya spacecraft to accurately indicate when the Moon entered the magnetosphere. Combined with data from the mineral detection engine of the Indian Moon Chandrayaan-1 probe, the experts received unexpected results.
In short, they discovered that the two deadlines did not match. The amount of water on the moon’s surface does not change as the moon moves through the magnetosphere and avoids the sun.
This result can lead to many conclusions.
One is the solar wind hypothesis which produces water which is completely wrong, and somewhere below the surface of the moon is a pocket of water which supplies the surface with liquid.
Another possibility allows the solar wind hypothesis to hold: the earth’s magnetic field continued the devastating work of the solar wind.
The results of previous research have shown that a plasma curtain directly bonded to the magnetosphere can release hydrogen ions similar to solar wind. Investigations have shown that this quantity of ions is directed towards the polar region of the Moon. Although the power cannot be as great as the solar wind, the above theory is true: water can still form on the surface of the Moon in this way. There is yet another possibility that oxygen from the atmosphere will somehow reach the Moon, especially during times of Earth’s geomagnetic fluctuation.
All of the above statements are purely hypothetical. Currently, maps showing the density of water on the Moon’s surface do not match available scientific models. However, the new map shows stagnant water in the high latitude part, the area of the equator of the Moon, so there is still a lack of data to confirm or refute the hypotheses.
The scientific community is focused on this problem because sooner or later we will be building the moon base. If you understand here the mechanism of formation of ice and water, the good people on the front lines will not have to worry about a resource essential to life. It would be handy if the Earth could scatter rain on the Moon.
