Most Of Moon’s Water Likely Remains Chemically Bound In Its Deep Interior

Recent research suggests that the Moon holds most of its water in a chemically bound state deep within its interior, with only a small amount present in permanently shaded polar craters. This discovery is significant because it reshapes our understanding of lunar geology and the potential for water resources on the Moon. While this means the Moon might not have easily accessible water for future missions, it opens up new avenues for studying how water and other volatiles are trapped and preserved in celestial bodies' interiors.
