At the same time, there are many areas where sunlight does not reach and the temperature drops below -200 degree Celsius. In such a situation, our scientists estimate that there may still be water present in the form of ice. The Chandrayaan-1 mission of 2008 indicated the presence of water on the surface of the Moon.
