Bengaluru: On Sunday, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) issued a graph depicting the range of lunar surface temperatures, and a top scientist at ISRO remarked on his or her amazement at the high readings.
The Chandra lander's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) assessed the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil near the pole, according to India's space agency. This data will help scientists better understand the Moon's thermal behaviour.
