Physics

Scientific paper

For over a decade, and especially since 2009, hydrogen, hydroxyl and water have been reported to exist on and beneath the surface of the Moon, in spite of early studies of returned lunar samples indicating a dry Moon. Vesta is a similar object to the Moon in the inner Solar System. The Dawn mission in orbit around Vesta since summer 2011 is searching for these molecules. We report on the initial findings and their implications.
