Google Doodle celebrates Chandrayaan-3 landing on South Pole of the moon

Google released a doodle on Thursday to celebrate the landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon’s South Pole.

The animated doodle shows the Vikram lander circling the moon and finally landing on its south pole. Rover Pragyan then comes out of the lander and starts exploring the lunar surface.

Search engine Google also created a page describing the journey of Chandrayaan-3 from its launch on July 14 to its landing on August 23.

“The moon’s South Pole has been an area of heightened interest for space explorers as they suspected the existence of ice deposits located inside permanently shadowed craters.
