ISRO has so far shared two major findings on the moon’s south pole. On Sunday (August 27), the space agency also shared its first observation of the temperature on the lunar surface, which was higher than expected by many scientists.

On Tuesday (August 29), the ISRO said that the rover had detected sulphur at the South Pole.
