Big Suprise!! Water Molecules Found on the Moon!

Current Events Blog 9/27.

The news that I have noticed is from the website: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/24sep_moonwater.htm, which posted on September 24, 2009 by Dr. Tony Phillips. It says NASA scientists have been successful in finding traces of water on the moon.

See this picture



The Moon Mineralogy Mapper shows us the color in blue. It means water absorption strength.
"New research shows water present across the moon's surface - It turns out the moon is a lot wetter than we ever thought, "(University of Tennessee Knoxville)
I remember when I was a child, I dreamt to be an astronaut. I wanted to land the moon. First I thought there might be have a species like us. I love a movie called ET direct by Steven Spielberg. I watched it again and again when I was a child. I wanted be their friend and that must be fantastic. Second, because my country have a large population. I can feel the stresses and strains of it. Like the competition, the House Prices, the educational level. So I always imagined that some of us could move to the moon. But after I grown up, I found that my thinking is funny. Because scientists said that there are no water, no life on the moon. So ET is just our imagination. Moving to the moon is especially preposterous.
I feel, for my childhood fairy tales are the only stuff that dreams are made of, and everything was not real for me now. After I read this news, I am shaking and happy. I feel some of my thinking of my childhood is not just imagination.
