Default Probe pictures Moon landing sites
From BBC News

Quote:
Probe pictures Moon landing sites
By Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News


Apollo 17: The wheels of the Lunar Roving Vehicle ("Moon buggy") left parallel lines in the "soil"


Remarkable new images of the Apollo landing sites on the Moon have been released by Nasa.

The pictures clearly show the hardware left on the lunar surface by American astronauts in the 1960s and 70s, including Apollo 17's "Moon buggy".

The images were acquired by the robotic Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which has been circling Earth's satellite since 2009.

Such shots have been returned before, but these are the best yet.

LRO has recently lowered its orbit from 50km above the Moon's surface to just 25km.

This makes it easier to see equipment, such as the descent stages that put the astronauts on the surface. Some of the science experiments are visible, also - as are the trails of bootmarks left in the dirt as the crews positioned these science packages.
Though I doubt this will satisfy the conspiracy theorists

Obviously the pictures are photoshopped.

Lets face it, the moon is bloody dull. There's literally nothing there.

All the more reason to build a theme park on it. With hookers. And blackjack.

Planet, satillite, whatever, at the end of the day it's a rock in space with a gravitational pull, just like Earth, only it happens to be smaller and circle a planet.

Actually the Earth and the Moon orbit a common Barry Centre, which happens to be located within the Earth.
