Did You Know?
India's moon mission Chandrayaan literally means "moon vehicle." Chandra is one of the Navagraha (nine celestial bodies) in Hindu astrology and rules the mind, emotions, and the tides. The English word "candle" traces back to the same Indo-European root as Chandra — both mean "that which shines."
