"Unambiguous" Evidence of Water on the Moon

Flowing fountains of pure and shinning water with magical healing properties have been discovered on the moon!

Joking.

But....evidence of water has been found on the moon, our best yet! Probes from India's first space mission (Chandrayaan 1) have sent back "unambiguous" evidence of water on the moon. They haven't exactly found it in complete H2O format though, just the trace signatures that water leaves behind.

The trace signatures have been found mostly near the poles in the colder areas of the moon. Scientists have already started gingerly estimating the amount of water that might be found on the moon, and some say that they might find some beneath the crust.

Needless to say, the scientific community and the Indian scientists who sent this out are rejoicing.
