Chandrayaan 2: Why is the black spot on the moon, ISRO revealed

New Delhi, 23 October 2019, Wednesday

ISRO's Chandrayaan record lander could not land properly on the moon and its contact with ISRO was broken but its orbiter is still revolving around the surface of the moon and is revealing new shocks daily. On October 22, a similar picture is sent by the orbiter, which shows why the moon has black spots or pits.

The dual frequency synthetic aperture radar in Chandrayaan 2's orbiter has revealed this. This device has studied the surface of the moon's south pole. With this device it is known where the pit is, where the flat ground is, and where the stone is lying.

The specialty of this device is that it can comfortably snap anything up to 2 meters above the surface of the moon. Two types of rays emit from them. That ray hits the surface of the moon and returns to the surface that tells us what's on the surface.

The image sent by the orbiter to Esro reveals that the device is capable of providing information about what is on the surface of the moon and below the surface. It can also know when a pit was formed. However, the question also becomes what is the relation between the moat and the black spot on the moon. In fact, the pit and its shadow resemble the black stain on the moon.

How to make a pit on the moon

A large number of meteorites, asteroids and comets collide on the surface of the moon. Because of this, thousands of years have been such a pit on the surface of the moon. However with this particular device it is known which pit falls on the moon. As you can see from the first picture, it shows that when the pit was made.

New pits

The color of the new pit looks more shiny and yellow in the picture. Dirt and dust are found all around it. The color inside this pit is brighter and lighter than the surface of the moon.

Old pit

The color of the pit on the surface of the moon is dark, ie black, blue or dark green. The color inside it has now become like the surface of the moon.

Some kind of pit?

1. Vertical

Meteorites, asteroids, and comets, when they hit the moon very slowly, are called vertical craters. The pits are straight and are equally deep from all fours.

2. Oblique

When the meteorite, asteroid and comet collide indirectly but not indirectly from the surface of the moon, the orbic crater becomes an indirect pit. It has more depth on one side and a slope on one side.

Why does the moon fall on the moon?

Scientists do not have an exact figure of how many pits are on the surface of the moon. But it is estimated that there are 5185 pits on the moon that are more than 19 km wide.

The width of one million pits is about one kilometer while there are 50 lakh pits whose width is 10 meters or more.
