At the very beginning, all the scientists decided, after analyzing some data from researches, that the moon was dry. Years later, they got to the conclusion that there was a presence of water, just that they didn’t know what its origin was. Looking for a cause, they thought it was the falling comets that left some of their carrying water in the Earth’s satellite, based on pictures taken. Nowadays, with the development of new technology and better resources to gather information in the Moon, they understood what could be an unknown reason, which can actually affected the existence of water there. The investigators are claiming that the water that is reserved in the Moon, is a result of asteroids that like deliverers, fell there and left traces

Those traps will keep the evaporated water in the Moon, when the comets consisting of water, fall. This theory had to be proved so from lunar missions such as Cassini probe, Deep impact and others, they got valuable information. Investigators that analyzed the first piece of data, concluded that there were significant quantities of water and hydroxyl groups, found in particles of gas and dust, confirming the claim. Another studies came from maps of water distribution on the surface, provided by a Russian LEND apparatus, in which they found a controversy between their theory and the actual evidence. As a result, they adopted the idea of lunar congelation, but this time affirming that the survival of water ice could be possible under a soil blanket even in the areas receiving sunlight. Looking forward the same source of information, it was suggested that water could also exist in the solar wind. Scientists described this as in the solar wind were hydrogen atoms reacting with oxygen atoms forming water molecules and hydroxyl groups, just as mentioned before. Still they had more questions than answers, but with leaving the idea of water in bound state open. Well known researchers, investigating the fall of comets and asteroids, organized a mechanism of delivery of water and supply. In order to do so, they created a model on the computer, simulating the falling of a space body onto the Moon’s surface with the exact measurements. It showed the temperatures along the falling body when impacting with the
