India's Vikram lunar lander, which crashed on its final approach to the moon's surface in September, has been found thanks in part to the sleuthing efforts of an amateur space enthusiast.

NASA made the announcement on Monday, releasing an image taken by its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter that showed the site of the spacecraft's impact .

The first person to come up with a positive identification was Shanmuga "Shan" Subramanian, a 33-year-old IT professional from Chennai, who told AFP that NASA's inability to find the lander on its own had sparked his interest. NASA then performed additional searches in the area and officially announced the finding almost two months later.

How did the lander make it to the NASA film Studio ....

Maybe someone was trying to tell them to take a shower more often...if you take the TTC you would know what I mean... Is Canada’s environmental efforts small compared to the big polluters of the world, China,India,Brazil etc. In those countries the fat envelope (corruption)over rules many environmental concerns. Do the Trudeau gang ever address this serious concern? Anyway Canada can pay to fix?
