No stranger to shooting lasers at the moon, NASA will once again send a laser to Earth's celestial satellite to look for water on the surface that may be hidden. Researchers have known for some time about the existence of that water on the moon, having first discovered water vapor as early as 1971. In 2009, the first evidence of frozen water on the surface was discovered. In recent years, experts have learned more about water ice on the moon, including details about its age, discovery at the polar regions, as well as the fact it may exist all over. The successor to the Apollo program, the timing of Artemis could be delayed due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.
