In a groundbreaking achievement, India's Chandrayaan-2 has successfully made history by being the first to directly observe the influence of solar Coronal Mass Ejections on the Moon's delicate atmosphere. This pivotal discovery not only deepens our understanding of the lunar exosphere and the effects of space weather but also serves as a vital resource for future lunar exploration. The Chandrayaan-2 mission, launched in 2019, has made the first-ever observation of the effects of the Sun's Coron ...Read More >
New Delhi [India], October 19 (ANI): India's Chandrayaan-2 lunar orbiter on Saturday made the first-ever observation of the effects of the Sun's Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on the Moon, with one of its scientific instruments, Chandra's Atmospheric Composition Explorer-2 (CHACE-2), onboard. Observations from CHACE-2 showed an increase in the total pressure of the dayside lunar exosphere (fragile atmosphere) when the CME impacted the Moon.
