FIRST: Water found on Moon

A U.S.-French team used new methods to analyze 40-year-old Apollo lunar samples that had previously shown no evidence of water. However, using more advanced instruments, the research team was able to detect very small amounts of water in the samples. The momentous announcement heralds the first time water has been discovered in materials from the Moon.
