Abstract

Over the Moon Based on recent analyses of lunar rocks, it has been argued that the lunar interior contained much more water than previously thought. Sharp et al. (p. 1050 , published online 5 August) measured the chlorine isotope content of lunar samples returned by the Apollo missions and found that the spread in their chlorine isotope composition is 25-fold greater than for rocks and minerals that have been measured from Earth and meteorites. This result implies that the hydrogen content of the Moon (and therefore its water content) is much lower than suggested by recent studies.
