The image shows the distribution of ice on the surface of the Moon's South Pole (left) and North Pole (right), as observed by NASA's Lunar Mapper. The blue color represents the locations of the ice deposits, the gray color marks the surface temperature ( dark representing cold areas and light shades indicating warm areas). The ice is concentrated in the darkest and coldest places, on the crater floors. This is the first time that scientists have directly identified absolute evidence of water ice on the surface of the moon. Photo: NASA

NASA has confirmed the presence of ice at the poles of the moon
