... noticeable ice caps, but we believe with a relative degree of confidence that extensive ice is located in the soil and in cold traps at both of the lunar poles. Cold traps are craters on the Moon where, because they are always angled away from the Sun, light—and therefore the ...
We think that there may be water ice in the ever-dark craters at the poles of the Moon, but we do not know for sure. Finding out is one of our top priorities.

This makes it harder to grasp how far away something really is. With no atmosphere to diffuse any light, everything is optically sharp, but everything on the Moon is ...
Gravity on the Moon is equal to 5.322 Ft/Sec. That is one-sixth, or ~16 percent the force of gravity on Earth. http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/moon_worldbook.html (See CDROM)
