Lockdown had an impact on the moon too! There was a drop in the temperature of the moon

In the year 2020, Corona was seen all over the world. During this period, lockdown was imposed across the world. At the same time, now its effect has reached till the moon. Indian researchers have also found evidence of this in their research. A study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has reported that an unusual drop in the surface temperature of the Moon has been observed during the strictest lockdown period of April-May 2020. Researchers Durga Prasad and G Ambili of the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) analyzed night-time surface temperatures at six different locations in the near side of the Moon between 2017 and 2023. During this time he found that during the lockdown the temperature had dropped by 8-10 Kelvin as compared to other years. For this, researchers took the help of data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). PRL Director Anil Bhardwaj said that this is an important research done by our group. This is quite unique. During the lockdown, all the factories, cars and other polluting activities were banned all over the world. People were not able to come out of the house. During this period, there was a significant decline in the emissions of greenhouse gases. Researchers also believe that due to the lockdown, the Earth's radiation decreased. Due to this, the temperature on the Moon started decreasing.
