However, when the lander was just 2.1 kilometres away from the lunar surface, ISRO lost contact with it. Nonetheless, Chandrayaan\u2019s orbiter is working well and will continue performing its experiments over the course of its one-year mission life.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lunar mission was launched in a bid to explore the south polar region of the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\">https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_discovered_on_a_potentially_habitable_planet\"><\/span>Water discovered on a potentially habitable planet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_241208821-1170x694.jpg\" alt=\"Water discovered on a potentially habitable planet\" class=\"wp-image-13831\" width=\"207\" height=\"123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_241208821-1170x694.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_241208821-768x456.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists in the UK have found the first evidence of water in the atmosphere of a potentially habitable planet outside our solar system.
