In minutes, many people have shared and retweeted the pictures across the internet. The journey of the second lunar mission by India is of significant value because a successful landing on the moon would make India a part of the league of very few countries to accomplish the feat. It is expected to be landing on the surface of the moon on September 7, 2019.

Chandrayaan 2 was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on July 22, 2019.
