LCROSS Made A Splash Afterall

New analysis of data from LCROSS, the spacecraft NASA intentionally crashed into the Moon last month shows evidence of "significant" water in Cabeus crater.
"We are ecstatic," said NASA's Anthony Colaprete,  "Multiple lines of evidence show water was present in both the high angle vapor plume and the ejecta curtain created by the LCROSS Centaur impact. The concentration and distribution of water and other substances requires further analysis, but it is safe to say Cabeus holds water."
