Chandrayaan-3 landing site snapped by NASA; here's what it looks like

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) of the American space agency NASA has captured an image of the Chandrayaan-3 landing site. The spacecraft is currently near the moon’s south pole since its successful soft landing on August 23.

The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 kilometers from the Moon’s South Pole.

The camera attached with the NASA orbiter acquired an oblique view (42-degree slew angle) of the Vikram lander four days later it had touched down. Launched on June 18, 2009, the NASA orbiter has so far collected a treasure trove of data, making key contributions to knowledge base on moon “The bright halo around the vehicle resulted from the rocket plume interacting with the fine-grained regolith (soil),” said NASA in a statement, attaching the captured image.
