New findings from the third moon mission on the lunar surface are still being made. Data transmitted back to Earth by the Prayan rover has revealed the location of the new crater. India Today stated that the rover is presently investigating the South Pole area of the moon's surface.The largest and oldest impact basin on the moon's surface, the Aitken basin, is approximately 350 km away from the new spot, which was found using data collected by the Pragyan rover during its traversal of a highland area.
For a better understanding of the moon's early geological evolution, the rock and dust from the new layer are essential.
The location has drawn interest from lunar exploration missions due to its abundance of material accumulated from previous impacts.
