The image captured by India’s Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter High-Resolution Camera (OHRC) provides a clear view of the Apollo 11 landing site at Tranquility Base.
Within the white circle, the descent stage of the Lunar Module Eagle is visible as a bright point accompanied by a distinct, elongated shadow cast across the lunar regolith. This high-resolution photograph serves as independent physical evidence of the 1969 mission and highlights the precision of modern lunar mapping technology. By resolving such small details from an altitude of 100 kilometers, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has contributed a vital layer of verification to the history of human spaceflight.
