But the instruments have also found the element in regions where the sun shines.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-sci-moon18-2009sep18,0,3019406.story">NASA scientists said Thursday that this could mean water is buried underground.
