Water on the Moon!?

Scientists have now discovered what appears to be water on the moon. While it is not enough for astronauts to drink, it is the discovery that is important. This is another major discovery in the astronomy, space science. This chart shows the amount of water, and hydroxide molecules in the moons rocks:

While this might not seem like a a huge amount of progress, but in this field every new discovery is a huge advancement. Especially to find something new about the thing we have been studying for years, shows that we do not know much about even our own moon. Space is a whole new frontier, unexplored and and foreign. With our new technologies are finding new things everyday, maybe some day we will all live in a different solar system.
