NASA\u2019s LRO \u2013 the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter \u2013 spacecraft imaged the Chandrayaan-3 landing site on the Moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

The LROC (short for LRO Camera) acquired an oblique view (42-degree slew angle) of the lander four days later. The bright halo around the vehicle resulted from the rocket plume interacting with the fine-grained regolith (soil).<\/p>\n

In the image shared by NASA, one can see Chandraayan-3\u2019s Vikram lander in the centre of the image. The dark shadow of Vikram is visible against a bright halo surrounding the lander.<\/p>\n

The bright halo was created as a result of the landing module\u2019s rocket plume reacting with the fine-grained lunar regolith or lunar soil.<\/p>\n

The ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the Moon on Aug. 23, 2023. The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 kilometers from the Moon\u2019s South Pole.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
