Hi,

    The absence of water in the bulk composition
of the Moon is a long-held truism -- the driest body
in the Solar System. We've always believed, and the
evidence has supported, the notion that due to its
violent origin all water (and volatiles) were lost.

    Now, someone's found water in "Moon Rocks."

Water is discovered in Moon Samples
