Earth From Moon: You must have seen the Sun setting from the Earth. You might have seen the moon rising and waning, but have you seen the earth sinking? This view has been captured from above the moon. The timelapse video has been recorded by Japan’s spacecraft Kaguya. In this, the Earth’s setting can be seen from the Moon. Japan’s space agency JAXA has shared this video. In the video, the rising and falling surface of the Moon is visible and the Earth is seen sinking in front.

Japan’s SLIM lander has made a record

Recently, Japan’s SLIM lander has successfully landed on the moon. Japan has become the fifth country in the world to achieve this success. Before Japan, America, Russia, China and India have landed on the moon. However, due to some technical glitches in the craft, it cannot be said clearly whether it will be able to fulfill all its objectives there or not. Because the problem discussed here is related to its use of solar power. In such a situation, if the lander is not able to use solar power, then there will be obstacles in achieving the goals of the mission.

India is the only country to land on the South Pole

India is special among all the 5 countries that have landed on the Moon, because ISRO’s Moon Mission Chandrayaan-3 had landed on the South Pole of the Moon. ISRO’s Vikram lander and Pragyaar rover completed their missions on the lunar surface for about 15 Earth days.
