Chandrayaan-3: ISRO scientists were also surprised to see the temperature of the Moon's south pole, said - it was not expected

Due to the successful landing of the Chandrayaan 3 lander, for the first time in history, major information about the South Pole of the Moon has come to the fore. After writing a new definition of success in space science by reaching the south pole of the moon, the payloads engaged in the lander and rover are trying to find out the secrets of the moon.

In this sequence, the scientists are also surprised by the profiling of the temperature of the lunar surface done by the payload Chandra Surface Thermophysical Experiment (Chest) on the lander Vikram.

Explaining the latest information received about the Moon's temperature (Chandrayaan 3 Update on Moon Temp), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) scientist BHM Darukesha said that the temperature on the lunar surface is expected to be around 20 ° C to 30 ° C. It was estimated, but the maximum temperature on the lunar surface turned out to be 70 °C, which is more than double the expectation.
