Chandrayaan-3’s landing zone formed as Life emerged on Earth

New ISRO Study Estimates The Age of the Region Where Chandrayaan-3 Landed To Be 3.7 billion Years Old

A new study published by ISRO has estimated the age of the region where Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon to be 3.7 billion years old. This goes back to the time when primitive microbial life forms first emerged on planet Earth. A team of ISRO scientists at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad performed morphological and topographical analysis of the Chandrayaan-3 landing site for the first time. The point is now popularly known as the S…

Chandrayaan-3’s landing zone formed as Life emerged on Earth

New Delhi: A team of Indian scientists have produced a geological map of the region around the Chandrayaan 3 landing site, officially named Statio Shiv Shakti. This is the first high-resolution geological map of the region, and provides the necessary context to interpret the results of the in-situ experiments conducted by the Chandrayaan 3 lander and the Pragyan rover, including the thermal characterisation of the lunar soil, as well as examinin…
