India's Chandrayaan-3 mission has made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting over 250 seismic signals in the Moon's south polar region. This marks the first time that seismic data has been collected from this area of the Moon, and the first such data recorded anywhere on the lunar surface since the Apollo era (1968-1972). The Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) aboard the Vikram lander was responsible for this significant achievement.
