Chandrayaan-1 sends images that indicate impact of Earth's atmosphere on Moon

Scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) say that this could be because the Earth's own atmosphere is lending a helping hand which, in other words, means that the Earth's atmosphere could be protecting the Moon as well.

Chandrayaan was launched aboard PSLV C-11 on October 22, 2008, which was an XL variant of ISRO's PSLV, one of world's most reliable launchers. PSLV was later used to launch the Mars Orbiter Mission in 2013.
