The Pragyan rover, part of India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission, made a significant discovery by identifying an ancient crater near its landing site at Shiv Shakti Point in the Moon's south polar region. The rover's images revealed a notable absence of large boulders, which are typically over one meter in size. This finding suggests that any boulders that may have existed in the area have been eroded over billions of years due to space weathering. The observations point to the extreme age of the region, providing valuable information about the Moon's geological history and the environmental processes that have shaped its surface over time.
