Proceedings of the National Academy of Science: Water on the Moon: UNM and LPI researchers explore, sample, and interpret lunar volatiles in polar cold traps

New research out of The University of New Mexico showcases exploring, sampling, and interpreting of lunar volatiles in polar cold temperatures on the Moon. The team of researchers looked at the surface of the Moon and analyzed permanently shadowed regions that have temperatures of 25 to 50 degrees Kelvin or -400°F.
