Moonquakes could reveal hidden water beneath the lunar surface

SMRTR summary

Scientists have found that moonquakes could help locate hidden water ice beneath the lunar surface. Seismic waves travel two to three times faster through frozen soil than dry soil, making ice detectable from the surface. This matters because NASA's Artemis missions in 2028 could use that ice for drinking water, oxygen, and rocket fuel, reducing reliance on Earth supplies.
