It's been over a decade since Chandrayaan-1, the first mission in ISRO's Chandrayaan program, concluded its operations but the data collected by that expedition is still leading to interesting findings. A new study, published in Nature Astronomy suggests that high-energy electrons from Earth may be contributing to the formation of water on the Moon. The latest research is based on remote sensing data from Chandrayaan-1 collected between 2008 and 2009.
