NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) took a picture of the Chandrayaan 3 lander. Chandrayaan 3 is the first spacecraft to land on the South Pole of the Moon. NASA’s LRO orbiter took this image on August 27. That is, four days after the soft landing of the Chandrayaan 3 lander. While sharing the photo of the Chandrayaan 3 lander, NASA wrote on social media platform X that LRO has taken a photo of the Chandrayaan 3 lander on the lunar surface.

ISRO also tweeted

Meanwhile, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Tuesday released a 3-dimensional ‘anaglyph’ photo of the Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander from the moon’s south pole. ISRO said on ‘X’ that the anaglyph presented here was created using NavCam stereo photos, including the left and right side photos taken on the Pragyan rover.

3D photo released

An anaglyph is a simple visualization of an object or terrain in three dimensions from stereo or multi-view images. Isro said that in this 3-channel photo, the left photo is placed in the red channel, while the right photo is placed in the blue and green channels (making cyan). The difference in perspective between these two photos results in a stereo effect, which is three-dimensional. Red and blue glasses are recommended for viewing in 3D.
