Chandrayaan-3: Passenger Aboard Flight Captures Mesmerising Video of The Launch

Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar exploration mission, on board the heavy-lift GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) rocket was launched on July 14 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). 

The day when India's lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 was launched, a passenger from the aboard IndiGo plane made a video of this special launch sight. An Indigo flight was going from Chennai to Dhaka when the pilot made the announcement to the passengers that "history is being made on your left". That's when people in the flight captured this historical and amazing sight in their mobile phones.


Chandrayaan-3 passing through the clouds is the witness of how glorious that moment would be for India.

About 40 days later, on August 24, the robotic device of the Chandrayaan 3 mission will land on the south pole of the Moon, which has not yet been discovered. So far only three countries, the US, China and Russia have been successful in landing on the surface of the Moon.

In an another instance, a picture of Chandrayaan-3 lighting up Australia's night sky is doing the rounds on social media and is captivating people with its beauty.

The picture was shared on Twitter by Dylan O’Donnell, who photoshoots from the Byron Bay Observatory, Australia, for Deography photo blog, writes for Celestron & Photographing Space, and provides science outreach for schools and students.
