India successfully lands spacecraft near the moon’s south pole, making it the first country to do so.
Indian PM Modi says mission’s success “belongs to all of humanity.”
Chandrayaan-3 – “Mooncraft” in Sanskrit – took off from a launchpad in Sriharikota in southern India on July 14.
Scientists believe the south pole’s unchartered territory could hold important reserves of frozen water and precious elements.
In India, people have crowded around televisions in offices, shops, restaurants and homes to watch the moon landing live.
