Three Spacecraft Find Water on Moon

Three spacecraft have discovered evidence of widespread water on the moon. Several satellites orbiting the moon have found tell tale readings of ice in the lunar soil, billions of gallons of it. There had been hints of this in the 1990s, but now, three papers in the journal 'Science' say there is solid proof. In just a few weeks, there may be even better evidence, as NASA plans to crash its Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite, known as LCROSS, into the moon, while another satellite measures precisely what it kicks up.
