India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission has recorded over 250 seismic signals on the Moon’s south polar region, including 50 unexplained signals potentially linked to Moonquakes. This marks the first seismic data collection from this area since the Apollo missions. The Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) aboard the Vikram lander detected these signals, with 200 correlating to the rover's movement and 50 categorized as ‘uncorrelated events.’ The findings, published in the journal ICARUS, provide new insights into lunar seismic activity and highlight the need for further research to understand these unexplained events.
