India's crashed lunar lander site is spotted on the moon


(CNN) In September, India's historic attempt for a soft landing of their spacecraft and rover, the Chandrayaan-2 Vikram lander, ended prematurely when they lost communication with the craft. Now, images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter reveal the crash site and final resting place of the mission. NASA included colored dots to show the initial impact site of the lander, as well as the debris field created by the crash and the upturned regolith, or moon dust. This image shows the Vikram Lander impact point and associated debris field. The debris field is 466 miles to the northwest of the impact site.
