Apollo moon rocks hold water [Permalink]
According to several blog articles that have come across my reader the last two days, water has been found inside of some of the moon rocks that were returned by the Apollo missions back in the 60's and 70's.

But wait - hasn't NASA plunged a few satellites into the moon in the recent past in order to find water at the moon's poles? Yes, but the results were inconclusive.

Why did it take so long to notice water in the moon rocks? I don't know, but it's pretty cool that people are still studying these rocks 30+ years later and still finding new things.
