the freezing point is below normal pressure at 0° C.

On the moon this is different, there is no atmospheric pressure, so nothing that the H2O molecules would keep together, therefore the water directly sublimes to gas and does not freeze, the gas is split up by the hard radiation and deflutes due to the weak attraction of the moon quite soon into space.

And yet I read in m connection with the moon landings of any water in moon craters now planned by various actors. Is that possible?

that is correct, on the moon there is ice in shaved craters, water is also included in the Regolith, but the water is not frozen there but has already arrived as ice.

the Mare are not an impact crater, these are lava levels from the time of origin to say a melting crust.
Otherwise, you are right with their explanations, with the guesses too.

Asteroids hit on the moon. The so-called “Mare” are all the impact craters. Comets would also be conceivable. They’re not called “dirty snowballs” for free. Also in the formation of the moon, enclosed in rocks could have reached the moon from the earth (but this is only a guess on my part – no idea whether one has already carried out corresponding investigations on the “moon water”.)

does it also, but only minimally, ice has a crystalline structure and under these conditions does not manage the phase transition well, except it is melted, then it is fixed.

But shouldn’t this ice sublime and disappear as a gas? How come this ice is stable?
