India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission, which landed on the moon a year ago, has provided new evidence supporting theories about early lunar history. The Pragyan rover, deployed near the lunar south pole, analyzed soil particles and measured elements over a 338-feet region. It detected a uniform composition of ferroan anorthosite, similar to Apollo 16 samples from 1972. These findings, marking the first measurements near the south polar region, were published in Nature.
