Answer:

Scientists discovered that water is being released from the Moon during meteor showers.This is the first time that we've confirmed that the molecules on the sunlit surface of the Moon are H2O.

Answer:

Throughout history, water-bearing comets and asteroids have struck our solar system on numerous occasions. Some of these comets collided with the Moon, causing water to be released. Scientists have found water ice in the cold, permanently shadowed craters at the Moon's poles.
