      not Isro released images

      A series of images are viral on social media with the false claim that these photos of the earth were taken by the Chandrayaan 2 spacecraft and released by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

      ISRO had lost contact with the Chandrayaan 2 space mission’s ‘Vikram’ lander which attempted a soft-landing on the moon on September 7.

      The post when translated reads, "Chandrayaan-2 clicked the first photo of mother earth. 👇👇 You also watch and be happy. That's how wonderful we live in the universe. Thank you ISRO, for giving the whole world to see the truth. We all have to save this beautiful earth. With this determination let us all decide our life why we are good on this earth."
