Launched on July 22, Isro has successfully carried out the fourth of the five planned orbit-raising manoeuvre of Chandryaan-2. While Indians are eagerly waiting for the spacecraft to land on moon, Isro decided to treat people with something special - images of Earth as viewed by #Chandrayaan2.

It didn’t take long for people to shower all kinds of comments on the images. While some simply wrote ‘proud’ on the comments section, there were a few who couldn’t help but wonder at Earth’s beauty.

“The best gift to 1.3 billion people from ISRO,” wrote a Twitter user. “It’s so beautiful I’ll go crazy,” commented another. “Wow... amazing. Thanks to ISRO,” tweeted a third.

Previously, a few images went viral on social media with the claim that they are taken by Chandrayaan-2. However, that claim later turned out to be incorrect.

What do you think of the images shared by Isro?
