China's Lunar Lander Finds Evidence of Native Water on Moon
Samples from the Moon's Oceanus Procellarum, an ancient mare basalt whose name translates to "Ocean of Storms," may be able to calm at least one scientific squall: the source of lunar water.
China's lunar lander Chang'E-5 delivered the first real-time, on-site definitive confirmation of water signal in the basalt's rocks and soil via on-board spectral analysis in 2020.

The researchers published their results in Nature Communications. (More)
