Chandrayaan 3's Vikram Lander made ‘ejecta halo’ on moon while landing: ISRO

India space agency ISRO has revealed that Vikram Lander created a halo-like formation on the moon’s surface while landing in August. It displaced over two tonnes of lunar dust, potentially making the ‘spectacular ejecta halo’ for eternity.

Vikram Lander’s thrusters blew the lunar dust over an area of 108.4 m2 around the landing site.

“During the action of descent stage thrusters and the consequent landing, a significant amount of lunar surficial epiregolith (moon dust) material got ejected, resulting in a reflectance anomaly or ejecta halo,” the space agency said in a post on X.

India’s Pragyaan rover did not revive after a successful exploration mission. However, ISRO declared the mission a “historic success.” India became the first country to land near the moon’s south pole.
