A captivating photograph of Chandrayaan-3 amidst Australia's night sky has gained immense popularity on social media.

The image was shared by Dylan O'Donnell, an astronomy enthusiast from MIT's GC Astronomy via Twitter.

In his tweet, he mentioned that he had watched the live launch of Chandrayaan-3 on YouTube and, after approximately 30 minutes, he managed to capture the stunning night-time picture as it passed over his house.

The photograph exhibits a mesmerising blue hue, highlighting the presence of the lunar mission along with a backdrop of twinkling stars.

A Pernille Folcarelli tree adds an artistic touch to the viral image, which has already garnered a staggering 740K views on Twitter.

Dylan O'Donnell skilfully captured this extraordinary shot just half an hour following the launch of the lunar mission from Sriharikota on July 14.

Sharing the picture, Dylan tweeted, "Just watched India's space agency launch their moon rocket on YT, then fly over my house 30 mins later! Congrats @isro! Hopefully, you stick the landing 💪🏼."

Enthusiastic netizens flooded the post with comments, praising the remarkable capture.
