NASA Discovers Large Lunar Ice Field

Copied and pasted from cnn.com:

NASA will report the discovery of a large field of ice on the moon, KTVU has learned.

Just weeks after NASA's L-CROSS mission analyzed a plume of debris generated by the impact of a satellite into a crater on the moon's south pole, NASA scientists will announce that the findings suggest the presence of frozen water at the site of impact.

KTVU will livestream the press conference, which begins at 9 a.m. PST today (Nov 13th).

If this BBC story is credible then it would appear that they've been finding water ever since the Apollo programme.

Now the recent impact-based discovery is more likely to be due to residue of past cometary impacts.
