New discovery on Moon: The Chandrayaan-3 lunar expedition, launched by India, has made ground-breaking findings on the Moon’s surface. The mission’s Pragyan rover discovered numerous elements near the lunar south pole.
While the finding of sulphur in the lunar south polar area is the most significant, it has also found the presence of aluminum, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, and oxygen.
The findings were validated by the Indian Space Research Organization (Isro), marking a significant milestone in the Chandrayaan mission. The rover’s Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) instrument was crucial in these discoveries.
The discovery of sulphur is especially important because it is a very uncommon element on the Moon. Its presence in the south polar zone might imply the presence of water ice, which is critical for future lunar missions and possible human settlement.
Sulphur is often formed by volcanic activity, and its existence on the Moon can provide vital information about the Moon’s history and composition.
The other elements discovered are known to exist on the Moon, but their confirmation contributes to our understanding of the lunar surface. The existence of these elements may provide information about the Moon’s geological history as well as possible resources for future lunar expeditions.
The Isro is now undertaking a study on the existence of hydrogen. It would be an important finding if discovered, considering the increased interest in hydrogen as a possible clean energy source.
Hydrogen is mostly employed in oil refining and chemical manufacture, and its discovery on the Moon might open up new avenues for space energy generation.
With its successful landing on the Moon, the Chandrayaan-3 mission, launched nearly six weeks ago, has captured the interest of the whole world.
The major goal of the mission is to collect data on the existence and quantity of various elements on the Moon, which will help us understand the lunar environment and pave the way for future investigations.
