Data from Clementine led scientists to believe that water ice could exist anywhere on the moon.
a. true
b. false
I think is true.
Is that right?
I agree.
Thanks! :P
Huh? Somehow it was false. That's wierd
Perhaps the key is "any place." Maybe we didn't read far enough.
I agree with Ms. Sue - the "any place" is key. It lead scientists to believe that there was water ice was found "in deep craters at both lunar poles", which translates to it being in certain places of the moon, rather than everywhere, or any place. :)
You are correct! The statement "Data from Clementine led scientists to believe that water ice could exist anywhere on the moon" is true.
To arrive at this conclusion, scientists utilized data gathered by the Clementine spacecraft, which orbited the moon in 1994. The spacecraft's instruments detected the presence of hydrogen at the moon's poles, and it is believed that this hydrogen is likely to be in the form of water ice. This discovery led scientists to speculate that ice deposits could exist in permanently shadowed craters near the moon's poles, where temperatures are low enough for water ice to remain stable. So, based on the data collected by Clementine, scientists have come to believe that water ice could potentially exist anywhere on the moon, particularly in regions that are permanently shadowed.
