A map of all the Apollo missions on a full moon picture taken by Dobviews using a Galaxy A14/17.3 Delos lens on a 10" Dobsonian telescope.

All of the corresponding close-up pictures of those landing are from NASA's Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter.

The bank of 6 shots are all property of NASA LRO / JPL

A Lunar Explorer: The Lunar Roving Vehicle 🌕

Witness the installation of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) into the Apollo Lunar Module at Kennedy Space Center in 1971. This innovative vehicle, designed for lunar exploration, was a marvel of engineering, allowing astronauts to travel farther and conduct more extensive scientific experiments.

The LRV's ingenious deployment system and lightweight design were essential for its success on the Moon.

On July 20, 1969, Astronauts #NeilArmstrong and #BuzzAldrin became the first #Earth humans to step onto the lunar surface. Together they collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth. An estimated 650 million Earth humans watched this historic event. #Apollo11 set the stage for continued exploration of the #Moon.

The white spacesuit is such an icon of cutting-edge science, it’s shocking to see how steampunky the early ones are #spacesuit #apollomissions #science

RIP.

"Michael Collins, who piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft Columbia in orbit 60 miles above the moon while his crewmates, Neil Armstrong and Col. Buzz Aldrin, became the first men to walk on the lunar surface, died on Wednesday at a hospice facility in Naples, Fla. He was 90."

"One of the truly unsung heroes of the Apollo program has passed away at age 95. Donald D. Arabian, Chief of the Apollo Test Division, headed the Mission Evaluation Room (MER), which was responsible for solving in-flight problems during the Apollo missions to the Moon."

This is gorgeous.

This video uses data gathered from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft to recreate some of the stunning views of the Moon that the Apollo 13 astronauts saw on their perilous journey around the farside in 1970."
