NASA's SOFIA Discovers Water On Sunlit Surface Of Moon

There may be far more water on the Moon than previously thought, according to two studies published Monday raising the tantalising prospect that astronauts on future space missions could find refreshment -- and maybe even fuel -- on the lunar surface.

The Moon was believed to be bone dry until around a decade ago when a series of findings suggested that our nearest celestial neighbour has traces of water trapped in the surface.

Two new studies published in Nature Astronomy on Monday suggest there could be much more water than previously thought, including ice stored in permanently shadowed "cold traps" at lunar polar regions.

Windows To Life – A Motivational Poem by Venkatesh M.R.

When waves splash and our life slash

Our hopes to stay afloat is only wish

Look where sky and sea meet

And find in your heart light.

 

Wind and storm in life pass

When serenity in depth of ocean we realize

And dreams of our life to reach the shores

Where rain of happiness pours.

 

So what we dream night and day

Will see the light one day

You in your life never losing way

In your work being happy everyday .

 

What You Want To Know - A Didactic Poem by Venkatesh M.R.

Light  and sound are around

To keep you in ambiance sound

Just absorb the light of knowledge

And sound of serenity for all age.

 

 

Dawn begins with nature songs

To remember where you belong

So keeping your destination in sight

Blossom by doing what is right.

 

Life is neither east nor west

It is where you do your best

So being where you are                 

With blooming hope your life take care.

Navarathri Festival – A Poem by Venkatesh M.R.

Let by the sword of mighty goddess

Demons of darkness banish

And light of knowledge shine

In fruits of purity people to dine.

 

In nine different forms she possess

The whole power of universe

So if with  love and faith we pray

We will succeed each day.

 

If we surrender at her feet

We will never face defeat

So worshiping the goddess in our breath

We will see light beyond death.
