Chennai, March 8 -- In a major finding and shedding new light on how plasma behaves
in Lunar environment, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said the country's
second Lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 has unveiled effects of Earth's geomagnetic tail on
Lunar ionosphere plasma.
In an update, it said the new study reveals surprisingly high electron densities in the Lunar
environment, hinting at the potential role of lunar crustal magnetic fields in shaping plasma
dynamics.
The study also heralded a significant step in unravelling the complex plasma environment
around the Moon and highlighted the continued impact of Chandrayaan-2's science mission
in advancing lunar research.
