A recent report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences said the moon's interior could be very dry, based on an analysis of lunar rock debris collected by Apollo 16.
previously published in the journal Nature that the moon's interior may contain large amounts of water.
it is understood that dryness within the moon is a common view.
until 2008, when scientists analyzed the volcanic glass beads brought back from the moon during the Apollo 16 mission in the 1960s and 1970s, the material formed by the rapid cooling of magma from the moon's volcanic eruptions, first found evidence of water inside the moon.
but this discovery and the later study of lunar water, it is not clear whether most areas of the moon's interior have water, or only a small part of the region containing water.
Brown University researchers report that they analyzed measurements from the moon's mineral mapping instrument on India's Moonship 1 probe and found evidence of water presence in almost every volcanic sediment on the moon's surface.
team, writing in the British journal Nature Geoscience, said there was "unusually high levels of water" in the large amount of volcanic sediment on the moon's surface.
further suggests that the amount of water in the moon's crust may be staggering.
, the exact source of water inside the moon was still unsolked.
, however, the latest report from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, is a far different result.
researchers analyzed rock fragments collected from the moon's surface during the Apollo 16 mission in 1972 and found that the moon's interior should be very dry.
that when the moon forms, it is "very hot", essentially an ocean of magma.
, any water, or other compounds and elements that can evaporate under these conditions, will evaporate throughout the moon's history.
