It is non existent. The moon does not have a magnetic field sufficiently strong enough to protect it from the solar wind meaning that the atmosphere it could have had was stripped away until only solid matter remained on the Moons surface.

That is why the tracks of the various Apollo missions can still be found on the Moon's surface as there is no movement of gases(as in wind) which would erode such things as they do on Earth.
