JAKARTA - The spacecraft belonging to the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), Luna-25, which had just arrived on the Moon, showed off its first image for Earthers.

The image taken at 8 am Moscow time came from the southern polar crater of Zeeman on the far side of the moon.

The Zeeman Crater is a unique object on the lunar surface and is very interesting for researchers. He has a axis height that surrounds him reaching 8 kilometers above the base surface relatively flat.

Previously, Luna-25 had also taken her first photo in space on Sunday, August 13, showing herself selfies with the Moon and Earth in the background.

Shortly after, Luna-25 then reached lunar orbit on August 16. With the new image produced by Luna-25, it will complement the information currently available about the crater.

The image of the world's first far-month far side was obtained in October 1959 by the Soviet Luna-3 automatic station. However, the spacecraft will not be in the Zeeman crater for long.

He will continue another mission to target a piece of gray soil near the Moon's south pole, an area suspected of being rich in ice water on August 21, as quoted by Space and Mashable, Friday, August 18.

Within a year, Luna-25 will study its internal structure and explore natural resources, including water, as well as study the impact of cosmic rays as well as electromagnetic radiation on the Moon's surface.

Luna-25 is also equipped with several video cameras that will record landing time intervals, Earth's natural satellite panorama in HDR format.

The automatic station will deposit dust for study and create programed video recordings and take photos of the Moon on orders from Earth.
