Because according to a trio of papers appearing in the journal Science, the lunar surface is wetter than we realized.Forty years ago, Apollo astronauts brought a bunch of moon rocks back home. For the most part those samples showed no traces of water whatsoever. Those that seemed even the slightest bit moist were thought to have been contaminated by water from Earthbecause the containers they were stored in turned out to be leaky.But now scientists say theyve spotted water right on the moons surface. Using instruments on three different spacecraft, the scientists detected the chemical signature of good old H2O. And they think the water springs from the moon itself. The lunar soil is nearly 50 percent oxygen, and the scientists think that hydrogen comes from the solar wind that pounds the moons surface.Put the two together and you get wet. Not too wet, of course. Theres probably only about a quart of water in every ton of lunar soil. Thats dryer than the Sahara, but wetter than we thought.11.
