Description:
Article Recent samples have shown that the Moon's interior, previously thought to be anhydrous, contains water, yet how this water was delivered is unclear. Here, using isotopic analyses and modelling, Barnes et al . show that carbonaceous chondrite-type objects delivered 〉80% of the Moon's bulk water.
