Chinese scientists found hydroxyl and molecular water in lunar soil glass from Chang'e-5 mission, primarily from meteorite/micrometeorite impacts.
Chinese scientists discovered that glassy materials within lunar soil samples from the Chang'e-5 mission contain hydroxyl and molecular water from various sources, including proton implantation from solar wind and water-rich meteorites/micrometeorites. The glass in lunar soil, created by meteorite or micrometeorite impacts, is the primary carrier of molecular water. This finding was published in the journal Science Advances.
