NASA: There is water in lunar soil

What
The article is about a bunch of scientists from NASA that have been finding traces of oxygen and other chemicals or elements that make up water from the moon.

Where.
The article's main focus was on the moon, where they found water in the "rocky environments and in craters"

Who
A bunch of scientists from NASA lead the research but the team was lead by Carle Pieters.

When
The findings of these elements started in the 1960s

Why
Scientists are really trying hard to see if there could be life outside of the earth or if any elements like water could be found in other planets including the moon.

How
The article says "their overall findings also were confirmed by data from high-tech spectrometer on the Cassini spacecraft". From this i am guessing that they are using high end and sophisticated technology.
