Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captures Apollo landing sites

Post by NikonWeb »

On the night of the 40th anniversary of the first manned moon landing, I wanted to share this:

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, has returned its first imagery of the Apollo moon landing sites. The pictures show the Apollo missions' lunar module descent stages sitting on the moon's surface, as long shadows from a low sun angle make the modules' locations evident.
