LRO Images Apollo
Posted by Danielle in News & Happenings, Picspam on July 21, 2009
Last month the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) launched and made its way to the Moon, and some of the first images it sent back are these delightful shots of the Apollo landing sites. Shown here is the Apollo 14 landing site; below you can see (in an enlarged view) where the astronauts walked to place their instruments. Which I think is pretty darned incredible. Go here to see the rest!
