The Distribution of Molecular Water in the Lunar South Polar Region Based upon 6 μm Spectroscopic Imaging
The amount and distribution of water on the lunar surface are related to the input and production of water by solar wind and meteoroid bombardment, balanced by photodestruction and mobility across the surface. Using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), we imaged the 6.1 μ m...
