​Chandrayaan 2’s night vision

Portion of the region around the crater (R2). The boulders are clearly visible.



In addition to being able to capture the most nuanced details of the Moon’s cratered surface, the OHRC also stands out for being able to take pictures in under-lit conditions. Even when a particular region isn’t illuminated by sunlight, the orbiter can peer through the darkness to capture images of crater floors on the Moon.
