Chandrayaan-3 Offers Groundbreaking Findings on Water Ice Retention on the Moon
ChaSTE measurements have indicated that there is an impact of local topography on the temperature. The lunar surface temperatures show a significant spatial variability at metre scales at high latitudes, unlike at the equatorial regions, indicating towards the possible presence of widespread water-ice within the shallow subsurface of , even at high latitudes.
The Moon’s Magnetic Mystery: Chandrayaan-2 Just Changed Everything We Knew
A new study based on radio signal analysis of the Chandrayaan-2 (CH-2) orbiter, has yielded surprising information regarding the Moon’s ionosphere. The study reveals that the moon’s ionosphere exhibits unexpectedly high electron densities when it enters the Earth’s geomagnetic tail, which could be explained only by the presence of a lunar crustal magnetic field.
