Graph by ISRO, lunar surface temperature based on Chandrayaan 3's data.

Chandrayaan 3 sent its first findings on the lunar surface temperature of the Moon’s South Pole. “We all believed that the temperature could be somewhere around 20-degree centigrade to 30-degree centigrade on the surface but it is 70-degree centigrade. This is surprisingly higher than what we had expected,” ISRO scientist BH Darukesha
