Lunar ice

Lunar ice refers to water ice found on the Moon's surface and in shadowed regions, such as craters near the poles. Despite the Moon's lack of atmosphere, temperatures in these areas stay cold enough for ice to exist persistently. This ice is valuable because it can be used for drinking water, creating oxygen, or even fuel for future lunar missions. Its presence helps scientists understand the Moon's environment and history, and it provides resources that could support sustainable human presence on the lunar surface.
