The Indian spacecraft Chandrayann-1 spacecraft is orbiting about the Moon with the U.S. Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument onboard. It found water molecules in the polar regions of the Moon, and two other NASA spacecraft confirmed the exciting discovery. Only a small amount of water was discovered, however, scientists are now optimistic that more will be found with further explorations.
