Teacher or professor: SciShow Space
Subject: Astronomy, Astronautics, Astrophysics
Content of the Lesson: If we want to establish a colony on the Moon, coming up with enough water is a huge challenge. Scientists have long suspected there might be water hiding on the lunar surface. Were they right? Plus, some quick recovery work led to exciting discoveries from chunks of a meteorite! Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
