India's Chandrayaan-3 mission has detected over 250 seismic signals in the Moon's south polar region. Among these, 50 distinct signals remain unexplained, suggesting the possibility of Moonquakes.

This marks the first time seismic data has been collected from the lunar south pole and the first since the Apollo missions.The Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA), housed aboard the Vikram lander, conducted this experiment at coordinates 69.37° South and 32.32° East, operating continuously for 190 hours between August 24 and September 4, 2023.

 Moons seismic activity likely linked to past meteorite effects or heat effects as per ISRO.

 Seismic activity in the Moon's soil could be due to impact from meteorites in the past or local heat-related effects, according to Isro's preliminary analysis of data received from Chandrayaan-3's quake-detecting instrument. However, detailed studies are needed to get more insights from the data, they said.
