Neil deGrasse Tyson Panicking Over Declassified Discovery Of India On The Moon

When Neil deGrasse Tyson shared information about the remarkable discovery made by India, it attracted everyone's attention. India aimed to land on the South Pole of the Moon to verify the presence of water in the craters. Recently, the world witnessed a milestone in space exploration when India opened a new chapter with its Chandrayaan-3 mission. This mission was not only significant for India, but also for global lunar exploration efforts, a region that has long been shrouded in mystery, particularly the lunar South Pole, which promised important scientific discoveries but also presented complex challenges. The Chandrayaan-3 mission was an undertaking of complex design and ambition consisting of three key components, each dedicated to distinct but interconnected tasks. The orbiter, equipped with eight scientific instruments, was tasked with observing and analyzing the lunar surface and atmosphere from a circular orbit located about 100 kilometers above the Moon.
