Scientists doubt the existence of stocks of water on the moon

Ученые сомневаются в наличии запасов воды на ЛунеScientists doubted the presence of large water reserves on the moon, re-examining a fragment of the rocks brought to Earth in 1972.

For future missions to the moon must know in what quantities they are present water supplies.

In addition, if the moon has no large quantities of water, consistent with the theory of its formation due to the collision of the young Earth with a hypothetical object the size of Mars. The germ of the moon were very hot magma ball and the most volatile compounds, including water, rapidly evaporates from its surface.

Examined in this study, “rusty stone” (Rusty rock) contains many volatile compounds that were previously suggested to scientists to think about the availability of water supplies in the depths of the moon. However, a closer analysis showed that the sample contains the lighter isotopes of zinc, which is consistent with the hypothesis that zinc could just condense on the surface by evaporation.
