NASA has announced the discovery of water on the Moon’s surface.
The US space agency revealed the finding on Monday during a press conference, branding it an “exciting new discovery”.
It marks a huge boost to Nasa’s plans to land astronauts on the Moon again.
Two astronauts – a man and a woman – will land at the lunar south pole by 2024 under what Nasa has called its Artemis programme.
Today’s announcement is still ongoing and kicked off at 12.05 pm ET this afternoon (4.05pm UK time).
