[1/2] People and supporters of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) celebrate the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft's landing on the moon at an event organised near India Gate in New Delhi, India, August 23, 2023.
"The Ch-3 Rover ramped down from the Lander and India took a walk on the moon!"
the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Indian newspapers had banner headlines screaming "The moon is Indian", "India goes where no nation's gone before", and "India lights up the dark side of the moon", among others.
"Lunar landing is the most significant Indian scientific achievement," the Times of India said in an editorial.
