Chandrayaan 3 gets to work

I looked at the moon in the sky, then I looked at the bottom of the moon and wondered what the new robot explorer had discovered so far.  I think India are the 4th nation to send a probe to the moon, this time they're exploring the south pole. No nation has explored the south pole of the moon before so they may find something very interesting. 
The rocket vehicle that took the probe to the moon works a lot like the NASA  SLS rocket for the Artemis missions. It has two booster rockets that detach when they're empty and a central main rocket in the middle. The lower parts for the spaceship also come off to remove dead weight when they're depleted. 

I wonder what they will discover out there.
