“Image depicting imprints on the Moon’s surface created by the wheels of the Pragyan rover, featuring the State Emblem of India and ISRO’s logo”
What FACTLY found
The viral image is purely an artwork. ISRO has not yet released images of the Pragyan rover’s wheel impressions on the lunar surface. However, the rear wheels of the Pragyan rover are embossed with the State Emblem of India and ISRO’s logo. These symbols will be imprinted on the terrain along the tyre tracks, but not in between the two tyre marks
