Abstract

The article focuses on research into Earth's moon, revealing more water than expected and forcing scientists to reevaluate its evolution. While water is thought to have arrived on the moon from comets, planetary geochemist Larry Taylor suggests water is produced regularly on the moon's surface through a process involving hydrogen ions from the sun and oxygen released from rocks.
