"Revealing the Moon's Wet History: Ancient Meteorite Unveils Surprising Water Content"

A new analysis of a lunar meteorite suggests that the Moon's crust was once much richer in water than previously thought, with a mineral called apatite indicating the presence of volatile elements 4 billion years ago. This challenges the long-held belief that the Moon has always been "bone-dry" and provides new insights into the Moon's history. The discovery has implications for future space missions, as it suggests that there may be more water available on the Moon's surface than previously believed, potentially opening up new possibilities for extraction.
