WATER produced on Earth has been found on the Moon.

The water wasn't left behind by astronauts but was pulled across space and came to rest on the satellite.

The existence of water on the Moon was confirmed in 2008Water molecules have been escaping Earth and landing on the Moon for billions of years, according to a study published in March.

Hydrogen and oxygen ions on the Moon come from the Earth's atmosphere - not its lakes or oceans.

Based on reporting by Science Alert, the grid of Earth's magnetosphere can be broken by wind from the Sun, leaving strands of charged particles fluttering behind the Earth.

When the Moon passes through the Earth's magnetosphere, the broken strands repair and escaped hydrogen and oxygen ions rush back to Earth - and get intercepted by the Moon in transit.
