Those characteristic dark splotches on the Moon, also known as lunar maria, originated billions of years ago when a series of volcanic eruptions took place on the lunar surface.from researchers at CU Boulder predicts that those volcanoes may have also left ice sheets behind that may measure up to hundreds of feet thick in parts.The researchers used advanced computer simulations and models to recreate the conditions of the Moon during and after its volatile volcanic past.
According to study co-author Paul Hayne, assistant professor at CU Boulder,"it's possible that 5 or 10 meters below the surface, you have big sheets of ice," which could be a great source of drinking water for future astronauts.
