Ice may exist on Moon at more locations than previously thought, Chandrayaan-3 data suggests
Ice may exist on Moon at more locations than previously thought, Chandrayaan-3 data suggests An expert said that large, yet highly local, changes in surface temperatures can directly affect the formation of ice and these ice particles can reveal "different stories about their origin and history". A study of data collected by the Chandrayaan-3 mission has suggested that ice could be present at more locations right beneath the Moon’s surface at the poles than previously thought. An expert said that large, yet highly local, changes in surface temperatures can directly affect the formation of ice and these ice particles can reveal "different stories about their origin and history". Durga Prasad Karanam, Faculty, Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, told PTI that the formation can also tell us about how ice accumulated and moved through the Moon's surface over time, which can provide insights into the natural satellite's early geologic processes, he said.
