a, b The hydration layer of SW-H2O in farside Homo-IGBs with an observed maximum depth < 4 μm (CE6, this study; Figs. 4 and 5) compared to the distribution of SW-H2O in the nearside Homo-IGBs (CE5; ref. 16). c Comparison of the deepest hydration profiles measured in the nearside (CE5; ref. 16) and the farside impact glass beads (IGBs) (CE6; Figs. 4 and 5, Supplementary Fig. 5). The source data for the plots are provided in Source Data. CE5, Chang’e-5; CE6, Chang’e-6.
