The United States yesterday successfully landed its second unmanned spaceship on the moon.
Surveyor 3, carrying a tiny shovel to scoop moon soil to test whether it can take the weight of a manned ship and its astronauts, may have come to rest inside a lunar crater, space officials said to-day.
The exciting discovery was made as scientists studied the first of three batches of television pictures transmitted by the spacecraft.
Its position would account for the unexpected solar glare which blurred the first pictures.
