Since its launch on October 22, 2008, the Indian space probe Chandrayan-1 has already transmitted more than 40,000 images of different parts of the lunar surface, and experts from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) say this is a record compared to lunar missions in other countries
According to ISRO estimates, over the past 75 days, Chandrayan's cameras have taken and transmitted more than 40,000 photos, which is about 235 photos daily, that is, about 1 photo per minute. Some of the images are also reported to have resolution of up to 5 meters, providing a crisp and clear picture of the lunar surface, while other countries' lunar missions provided significantly lower resolution images. Thus, ISRO has received truly huge data on the lunar surface with its craters.
On November 26, the Terrain Mapping Camera, which has been in operation since October 29, began capturing the mountains and craters of the Moon. The press put it this way: "The result for ISRO was unexpected." We found an explanation in one photo taken by Chandrayan-1 and published directly by ISRO.
This photograph shows a pyramidal object with a perfect triangle at its base. And if you consider that the photo was taken from a height of 395 km, the edges of the pyramid should reach 4 km.
Anomaly? Perhaps, but don't forget that this photo was provided by ISRO and not, say, NASA.
