Short summary
I review investigations of melt inclusions in lunar rocks in the last 53 years. They can be divided into two stages. In the first stage (1970s), melt inclusion studies focused on major oxides and magma evolution, including the discovery of silicate liquid immiscibility. In the second stage (since 2010), melt inclusion studies have provided key constraints on water and other volatiles on the Moon and have been instrumental in the paradigm shift from a “bone-dry” Moon to a fairly wet Moon.
