An in-situ detection by China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe and the subsequent analysis of its returned samples revealed at least two water sources on the moon, one brought by solar wind and the other from indigenous sources. A group of scientists with the Chinese Academy of Sciences found the apatite collected at the young mare region where the Chang'e-5 landed contained indigenous water in the form of hydroxyl.
