A comprehensive study conducted by scientists from ISRO, IIT Kanpur, University of Southern California, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has uncovered significant evidence of water on the lunar poles. Utilizing data from the Chandrayaan-2 Dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar, the researchers discovered that the subsurface ice content in the lunar poles is significantly higher than previously estimated, with the northern polar region containing twice the amount of water ice compared to the southern polar region. The study suggests that this water may have been released through volcanism during the Imbrian period and that its distribution is influenced by impact cratering and Mare volcanism.
