Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Chandrayaan 2 Launch." Launched from India's Satish Dhawan Space Centre, the Chandrayaan 2 spacecraft's orbiter, lander, and rover are destined for the Moon. In the coming weeks it will perform a series of orbit raising maneuvers, eventually transferring to lunar orbit in early September. The lander and its solar-powered rover are scheduled to separate and attempt its autonomous soft landing at high latitudes near the lunar south pole on September 7th.
