The new name given to the location where the lander of Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the moon surface is "Shiv Shakti Point". The name was announced by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a visit to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in Bengaluru on August 26, 2023. The name is rooted in Hindu mythology, where "Shiv" and "Shakti" are Sanskrit for "Shiva" and "power," respectively. Shiva is a supreme god in Hinduism, and Shakti in this case refers, among other things, to the perseverance of women scientists. It is important to note that these names are still informal and have not yet been approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which is the authority that bestows official names upon celestial bodies and their features.
