[ad_1] New Delhi: Chandrayaan-3 has reported great relief for people around the world. The data sent by the Chaste device installed in Chandrayaan-3 has revealed that water snow may also exist outside the polar areas on the moon. Chandrayaan-3 had earlier expressed the possibility of water in the form of snow on the moon. This can help in creating temperature controlled housing for humans going to the moon in future. This research has been published in the magazine 'Communications Earth and Environment'. With the new data, scientists of PRL of Ahmedabad found that small changes in height also makes a big difference in the temperature of the surface and sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-latitude of the moon. This can create an atmosphere like polar regions in areas with sloping, where the sun does not get direct light and water ice under the surface.What is chaste device?Please tell that Chaste device is installed on the Vikram lander of Chandrayaan-3. It is a kind of thermometer. Which measures the surface temperature of the moon. This is the first such device. Earlier, the surface temperature of the moon was estimated only from the satellite. Chasste had already revealed that there is a difference of about 60 ° C between the moon surface and its 10 cm layer.Where there is no sunlight, more likely to snowPRL scientists detected the possibility of water snow at places like Shiva Shakti Point using the temperature from Chaste's data. As of now, water ice on the moon is found only in polar regions, especially under the craters where the sun's rays do not reach. Chandrayaan-3 landed around 70 degrees south, which is closest to the southern pole of the moon, but not in the polar region.Scientists noticed that the surface temperature changes a lot even a short distance. It depends on whether the place is flat or on the slope, and the sun. Vikram lander landed at a slightly sloping place. Where Chaste entered the surface, the temperature at the slope towards the sun was recorded at 355 Calvin (about 82 ° C). About one meter away, where the surface was relatively flat, another sensor on the Vikram lander measured the temperature of about 332 Calvin (about 59 ° C). [ad_2]
