Soil layers with different compositions close to the surface led the rover science team to propose that thin films of water may have entered the ground from frost or snow. The ground where NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit became stuck last year holds evidence that water, perhaps as snow...

But after a year of analysis NASA today announced that its LCROSS lunar-impact probe mission found up to a billion gallons of water ice in the floor of a permanently-shadowed crater near the moon's south pole. That's enough, said researchers, to fill 1,500 Olympic-size swimming pools, all from...
