What we know so far
Okay, so what we know is that the India Space Research Organisation lost contact with Chandrayaan-2's Vikram lander minutes before it was to land to on the lunar surface. Since then, the mood at the Isro centre in Bengaluru has been extremely tensed.
Isro scientists have been seen conferring amongst each other, but there has, more or less, been a pin-drop silence at the Isro command centre that is tracking Chandrayaan-2's progress. It has now been more than 30 minutes since the lander Vikram began its descent on to the lunar surface. The procedure was supposed to take 15 minutes.
