The moon is the coldest place in the solar system

Pluto - known as the second largest dwarf planet in the Solar System - is no longer the coldest place in the solar system. The Moon's black crater near the South has won this "title".

The vertical edges of these craters prevent sunlight from reaching its center. In this perpetual darkness, the temperature remains unchanged at -240 degrees Celsius, about 30 degrees above absolute zero and colder on Pluto, 10 degrees C, where the temperature has been measured. is -230 degrees Celsius in 2006.

Speaking at a news conference, Richard Vondrak, a NASA scientist, said that the South Moon is one of the coldest places in the solar system and actually the temperature measured here is much colder. compared to us often think like in Pluto.

The South Pole of the Moon is one of the coldest places in the solar system.

However, this cold temperature is a good signal for those who are intending to search for frozen water accumulating in the dark (shade) areas of the Moon . Previous calculations show that water and other volatile gases will disappear in space at temperatures above -220 degrees Celsius.

These measurements were taken by NASA's LRO (LRO) cruise ship launched in June.

The temperature sensor of this satellite, DIVINER, has measured the amount of radiation emitted and reflected by the surface. The LRO has a number of other devices designed to map properties, such as terrain and neutron content, a sign that can help identify signs of water.

The results of this study add to the hope that the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) will find evidence of water as it plunges into a hole near the South Pole of the Face. Moon on October 9 coming.
