A race with a photography finish

The News these days is India's process to internationally reaffirm the name of Bharat, which is not a new name, very old texts appear and it was already co-official along with the name of India since 1950, although the thing about India is not known. The British have invented it as some Indian politicians say and as it appears in some media.

India is also a very old term, used for more than 2,300 years at the time when the Hellenes led by Alexander the Great arrived on the banks of the Indus River. India literally means “the land beyond the Indus River.” ” and has been used traditionally ever since by the nations and peoples west of Lindo.

It is a term that will continue to be used to designate the Indian subcontinent, although curiously due to the history of political geography the Indus River is not in India but in Pakistan, so and this is my personal opinion, I think we should get used to the term Bharat to call that country and the term Barhatíes to designate its inhabitants.

As you can see, we live in a world that is constantly changing, not only does technology change, the names of things change and new world powers emerge, as is happening with India, which is experiencing weeks of historic achievements, it has achieved its objectives on the moon and it also did so. In the middle of an exciting race with Russia, Russia had sent the Luna 25 Probe and in principle the Russian Probe should have landed a couple of days before the Indian Probe, but the Russian ship ended up crashing into the moon.

According to Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, it was a calculation error; the braking motor worked for 127 seconds instead of the planned 84 seconds, which ended up taking the ship off the correct trajectory and causing the disaster.

On August 31, NASA's lunar reconnaissance orbiter or LRO managed to photograph the impact point of the Russian spacecraft, in this gif we can see what the surface was like before and what it was like after the impact on August 19, it occurred at about 400 kilometers from the planned landing site, this new artificial crater is about 10 meters in diameter.

Roscosmos has many problems, there are accusations of corruption failures, these are not good times for the Russian space agency, although they will continue in the lunar race, the next missions are Luna 26, which will take off in 2027 and Luna 27, which will be launched in 2028 and which will be a twin sister of the Luna 25 Probe, hopefully with better luck.
