India, on Tuesday evening, scripted history as it became the first country to successfully carry out a soft landing on the south pole of the moon.
Chandrayaan-3's landing module Vikram touched down on the surface of the moon at 06:03 PM IST, leading to an unprecedented sense of joy, not only among the scientists at the Indian Space Research Organization, but all across the nation.
The entire country was glued to the live telecast, waiting for the historic moment. And, so was legendary Indian cricketer MS Dhoni's daughter, Ziva Dhoni, who danced with joy as Vikram successfully soft-landed.
Watch the video here:
This is a historic moment for ISRO and the entire nation as it becomes the first country to successfully land on the south pole of the moon.
It is also historic considering the setback that ISRO suffered during the landing of Chandrayaan-2 in September 2019.
Overall, India has become the fourth nation to successfully land on the moon.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also present at the live event via a video link from Johannesburg, South Africa.
The PM paid his tribute to the esteemed scientists in a heart-stirring speech.
''When we see such historic moments it makes us very proud. This is the dawn of new India."
Meanwhile, the Indian Cricket Team, which is scheduled to play the 3rd T20I against Ireland on Wednesday evening, was also glued to the Tv from Dublin to witness the historic event.
The BCCI X account posted the pictures and video of the same.
