Japan's space agency, JAXA, successfully landed the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) on the Moon, achieving a precise landing within 100 meters of its target. This marks Japan as the fifth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon. The mission's success is a significant milestone for Japan's space program, showcasing new technologies and potential for future space exploration. Despite some issues with the spacecraft's solar panels, there is hope that power can be restored when sunlight hits the Moon from the west.
