Mr McCarthy took to X (previously Twitter) to publish the detailed photograph of the Moon, which provided a glimpse into the difficult lunar surface where the Lander made its historic touchdown.
“I took a photo of the moon’s southernmost limb tonight.” The Vikram lander touched down here on Wednesday. “This is about as detailed as my telescope will allow,” Mr McCarthy wrote.
