A Google Moon rendition of Chandrayaan-3 landing area

In order to follow the Chandrayaan-3 lunar surface mission I created a small KMZ suitable for the Google Earth (GE) desktop version. Google Earth also has "Google Moon" and, upon opening the file, you will be prompted to switch to the moon, if it is not already open.
The ground overlay images are based on the LROC image M1421908349LE, with all credits fully given.This is a large image (~70M) so it cannot be attached here, but it can be downloaded from the following link:

The attached KMZ file contains a small cutout of just the landing area.

To install the attached file, download it to your hard drive. I suggest the creation of a dedicated directory to contain the file. Optionally, download and place in the same directory the image linked to above.

Double click on the KMZ to open it. Click on the features (GE's left panel) to see the comments, and double click them to "fly" to that location.

I ask you to kindly let me know of any problems you may encounter. Thank you.
