HOTPE - I don't know anything about the discovery but my guess is they've found lots of water on the moon, or more likely, within it. While we're in wide-field mode the moon is far too bright to observe, the light would simply fry our detectors.
For the sci-fi fans, observing the moon would lead to a cascade effect that blows up all the other observatories on the mountain and lead to an alien invasion, so that's what they want us to do.
