Chandrayaan-3: Detection of traces of oxygen on the moon

The period of human life on the moon is coming. Oxygen, the lifeblood of life, was found on the south pole of the Moon. As part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the Pragyan rover has stepped on the surface of Moon and started its research. The presence of oxygen along with sulfur was detected on the moon. ISRO revealed that it has clearly detected the presence of sulfur (S) on the surface of the moon near the south pole. ISRO said that aluminum, calcium, ferrous, chromium, titanium, manganese and silicon have been identified and the search for hydrogen (H) is continuing. 

 ISRO tweeted: Not only Sulphur, but the LIBS instrument also found the presence of aluminium (Al), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), and titanium (Ti) on the lunar surface. Further measurements have revealed the presence of manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and oxygen (O).

With that, ISRO seems to have identified all the necessary elements and conditions for man to live on the moon. The discovery of a rare trace of sulfur on the moon’s south pole will be crucial. Scientists believe that sulfur ice could be a sign of the presence of water. On the other hand, a miracle will happen in the sky today. Moon will come closer to earth tonight. A full moon will appear bigger and brighter than a normal full moon. This is called Super Blue Moon.
