Chandrayaan-1's first picture of the Moon
Here is the first image taken by Chandrayaan-1 of the Moon, taken while it was still in Earth orbit on November 4. It's a bit underwhelming -- until you realize that the camera was designed to take photos of the Moon from a distance 3,000 times closer than this.
It may not be an impressive image but it's a milestone, and there is hopefully much more to come.
