		<description>Quoting the Ananova article:

&lt;i&gt;
The most detailed radar survey to date has revealed no sign of thick ice deposits at the moon&#039;s shadowy poles.&lt;/i&gt;

and
&lt;i&gt;
The findings, reported in the journal Nature, suggest that any water on the moon is likely to exist as scattered grains or thin layers embedded in rock.&lt;/i&gt;

I don&#039;t think this is the first time Arecibo has been used to try to find these - the other instruments indicate that the hydrogen (most likely combined with oxygen in water) really is there; this just clarifies what form it&#039;s in. Not terribly unexpected but maybe a little disappointing.</description>
