Flamsteed History of Astronomy: Lunar hydration

A Flamsteed History of Astronomy lecture at the National Maritime Museum asking whether there is water on the Moon. It is given by Pranjal Garg, a Science Explainer and Astronomy Planetarium Presenter at Royal Museums Greenwich with a BSc in Planetary Science with Astronomy from Birkbeck, University of London. Her talk, Lunar Hydration: Discoveries and Impact, traces how knowledge of lunar hydration has evolved from Earth-based observations to discoveries from the Cassini, Deep Impact and Chandrayaan-1 missions. She will also discuss how water is delivered, incorporated and retained on the Moon, and why this matters for future missions there.
