Chandrayaan 3: Scientists analyzing images received from the mission and satellites have claimed that India's lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 probably landed in one of the oldest craters on the Moon. This crater was formed during the Nectarian period, which is 3.85 billion years old.
This is one of the oldest periods in lunar history. The team included researchers from the Physical Research Laboratory and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

S Vijayan, Associate Professor, Planetary Sciences Division, Physical Research Laboratory, said the Chandrayaan-3 landing site is a unique geological setting, where no other mission has visited.

The images are the first on-site photographs of the Moon at this latitude, showing how the Moon has evolved over time. A crater is formed when an asteroid hits the surface of a larger body such as a planet or moon and the displaced material is called ejecta.
Impact basin over time
Growth images show that half of the crater was buried beneath ejecta outside the South Pole-Aitken Basin.
