Seismic water search on the Moon: how scientists 'see' ice beneath the surface

Schematic illustration of a lunar seismometer scanning subsurface layers of the Moon and detecting ice deposits at depths up to 800 meters

The image depicts a lunar lander equipped with a seismic sensor emitting waves into the Moon’s subsurface. The visualization shows signal reflections from hidden layers of water ice at depths up to 800 meters — a breakthrough discovery by American researchers.
