Chandrayaan 2 sends first moon picture

Chandrayaan 2, which is on its way to the moon, has sent its first picture of the earth's natural satellite and we have only one word for it – breathtaking. 

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday shared the first image captured by Chandrayaan 2. The image captured by the LI4 Camera shows Mare Orientale basin and Apollo craters of the moon.
