Japan's 'Moon Sniper' craft landed around 55 metres (180 feet) from its target, the country's space agency said Thursday as it released the first images from the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) mission.
'SLIM succeeded in a pin-point soft landing... the landing point is confirmed to be 55 metres away from the target point,' space agency JAXA said.
