Chandrayaan 2’s historical discovery

Chandrayaan 2’s historical discovery

·         October 16, 2019

Chandrayaan has made a very interesting discovery. Although Chandrayaan 2’s orbiter was created for research on the moon, it created another record while walking in the moon’s orbit. When it was travelling around the moon, it felt the Solar winds coming from the sun. The ISRO team found out from the study that the Sun completes its Solar Minima and Solar Maxima every 11 years.

Currently, the solar cycle is heading towards minima and the Sun has been extremely quiet for past few months. On 30th September 2019 00:00 UTC – 1st October 2019 23:59 UTC, a series of small flares were observed by XSM.

Chandraya will continue to explore this way and will share many important information with ISRO. As Chandrayaan 1 launched by ISRO discovered water on the moon. Even though ISRO’s ambitious mission Chandrayaan 2’s lander and rover could not succeed on the moon, but the orbiter has performed more than its capacity.

Highlight:

o    Discovered: Sun completes its Solar Minima and Solar Maxima every 11 years.

o    The Solar Cycle is heading towards its Minima.

The mission of ISRO, the experiments and the satellite it has launched for various purposes, have always attracted the world and made them show their abilities. After the extremely success of Chandrayaan 1. Chandrayaan 2 was launched, which had created excitement in the world since its launch.
