Chandrayaan-3 lander spotted on the Moon by NASA satellite

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) of the American space agency NASA has captured a photograph of the lander of Chandrayaan-3, India's third mission to the moon. It is the first spacecraft to successfully touch down near the lunar south pole, and this image was taken by LRO on August 27, just four days after the historic landing on the moon.Sharing the image on social media platform X, the space agency wrote, "LRO spacecraft recently imaged the Chandrayaan-3 lander on the Moon's surface." LRO is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for the Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington.

Meanwhile, the Indian Space Research organisation on Tuesday put out a 3-dimensional 'anaglyph' image of the Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander from the south pole of the moon."The anaglyph presented here is created using NavCam stereo images, which consist of both a left and right image captured onboard the Pragyan Rover," the space agency said.
