Moon Water Found, Raises Questions About Origin Theory

Water found in moon matter counters the long-held belief that Earth's satellite is bone dry, researchers announced today.

The researchers believe the water was ejected along with magma when "fire fountains" erupted more than three billion years ago from the moon's surface.
