NASA Releases New Spacecraft Images of Apollo Landing Sites

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. Images show the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored the lunar surface.

At the Apollo 17 site, the tracks laid down by the lunar rover are clearly visible, along with the last foot trails left on the moon. The images also show where the astronauts placed some of the scientific instruments that provided the first insight into the moon’s environment and interior.

“We can retrace the astronauts’ steps with greater clarity to see where they took lunar samples,” said Noah Petro, a lunar geologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., who is a member of the LRO project science team.

All three images show distinct trails left in the moon’s thin soil when the astronauts exited the lunar modules and explored on foot. In the Apollo 17 image, the foot trails, including the last path made on the moon by humans, are easily distinguished from the dual tracks left by the lunar rover, which remains parked east of the lander.

  1. Makes the “first” lunar landing come to light as to what it was… EXACTLY. That is if these pics are for real.

  2. Exactly, and everyone will expect readers to be posting their rebuttals in this comment section.

    Infowars simply reports the news, and the readers will offer up what they have in response…

    I for one, want to know what OJ Simpson knows about this…

  3. Am I the only one who realizes how easy these photos can be fabricated??

    • They could very well be Photoshoped. It’s not like they are birth certificate or something complicated…

      • That’s right. The photos prove nothing. In this day of digital photo manipulation, photos are no longer proof of anything.

        What is troubling me is how much did all this fabricated “evidence” supposedly cost. If, indeed a spacecraft was sent by the moon, was that its only mission? If so then how much money did Obama waste on that? We could have financed 6 hours of Afghanistan time killing innocent men, women and children with all the money wasted on that. Most likely, it was only a few minutes of photoshop time so no big deal.

        Either way, just fork out the cash and bend over, ’cause they’re drivin’.
