ISRO Shares 3D Picture of Vikram Lander

On August 23rd, India’s Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the moon’s South Pole and became a historic achievement for the country.

People have been requesting more pictures of the moon’s surface since Chandrayaan 3’s secure landing on the Moon. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been sharing images regularly, but they recently did something unique. 

On September 5th, ISRO shared a 3D image of Chandrayaan 3’s Vikram lander on Twitter. The picture shows the stunning features of the South Pole of the moon. To view these images properly, you will need 3D red and cyan glasses. The images were taken by the Pragyan Rover.

To create a 3D picture, the same image is taken from two different angles. One of the images is coloured in red and the other in cyan. The pictures are then placed on top of each other and viewed with red and cyan 3D glasses.
