Chandrayaan-2, which is currently orbiting the Moon, has sent back colourful images showing the impact craters, which could help in further understanding the evolution of Earth’s Satellite. The images were taken by Chandrayaan-2’s Dual-Frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DF-SAR) on board, and give a more detailed look at the impact craters. Moon has many impact craters on its surface, formed due to meteorites, asteroids and comets that have bombarded it since its formation. The images come even as NASA in a statement said that there was no sign of the Vikram Lander. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), in its October 14 flyby over the Moon’s south polar region, was unable to find any evidence of India’s Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram lander. “The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter imaged the area of the targeted Chandrayaan-2 Vikram landing site on October 14 but did not observe any evidence of the lander,” Noah Edward Petro, the Project Scientist for the LRO mission, said in an email. Earlier it was speculated that the Vikram lander could be hidden in the shadows in the crater filled region.
