PARIS: Scientists said Monday they have discovered water inside tiny beads of glass scattered across the Moon, suggesting that one day it could be extracted and used by the"explorers of tomorrow".

The beads are formed by tiny meteorites that bombard the surface of the Moon, which lacks the protection of an atmosphere. Investigating further, they determined that the hydrogen necessary to make up the water was coming from solar wind, which sweeps charged particles across the Solar System.

And it only takes mild heat of around 100 degrees Celsius to liberate the water from the beads, Anand said.
