LCROSS results published: water measured in the Cabeus ejecta plume

node

Colaprete and colleagues reported in Science that the ejecta plume contained water at 5.6 ± 2.9 per cent by mass, together with a suite of other volatiles. It was the first direct measurement of water inside a lunar cold trap and the empirical basis for treating the poles as a resource destination.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
