Abstract:
The question of whether water exists on the Moon has been highly controversial. Results from the Lunar Prospector mission, now analysed and published, provide the best evidence yet that there is indeed a considerable amount of water on the Moon, in the form of ice under the lunar poles. The instruments concerned detect hydrogen, which could, for instance, exist as H2. But H2O is the more likely form.
