This probably deserves it's own thread. Seems the evidence is not specific to only one mission...

Scientist: The Moon is very dry. If we have to extract all the water from Apollo's rocks, we will fill this spoon. The general idea is that the Moon is bone dry, but there may be water in shadowed regions.
Three papers will be published today. Three major instruments - M3, Visual and IR mapping spectrometer- Cassini, the third - Hi-res imaging spectrometer aboard Deep Impact (EPOXI). These instruments made possible the water on the Moon to be mapped as it was never mapped before. ... Widespread water was detected on the surface of the Moon. Now we see a map of the distribution of OH and H2O on the Moon EDIT http://www.nasa.gov/topics/moonmars/featur...on20090924.html Presented on NASA's website |
