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.

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is just beginning its mission to explore the Moon. One of its instruments has already indicated that hydrogen (a component of water) is present at the south pole but in unexpected places: at warm spots that receive sunlight (and not just within the bitterly cold impact craters).
