    Is there ice on the moon?

    Question #107401. Asked by author. (Jul 26 09 4:33 AM)

    		CNN ran a story in 1998 that claimed ice had been found on the moon:
    http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9803/05/nasa.moon.ice/

    NASA questioned the validity of the report:

    More recently, a plan was announced to find out for sure if ice does exist:
    http://www.universetoday.com/2009/06/01/ice-on-the-moon-nasa-isro-may-collaborate-to-find-out/

    So at this stage there does not seem to be a definite answer.
