Chandrayaan-2 views Apollo

That Apollo 11 image is actually really good, but you know what the HBs are going to say, where are the footprints? I would reckon that no argument about light angles, size or resolution would placate them.

To say it's a screengrab of a powerpoint presentation slide it holds up very well against the LRO's shots of the same place.

The are several LRO photos of the Apollo 11 landing. The astronaut foot-trails seem much more visible in the those photos taken when the sun is high in the sky above Tranquillity. The sun is low in the Chandrayaan 2 image.

Very much looking forward to them releasing the actual files.

Jarrah White couldn't wait for the actual files and has posted a 'debunk' on the Aulis website. Apparently Eagle only has 3 legs.

Predictions on the response when it 's ery obviously a four legged lander when they release the files?

I'm going with "Yeah well they added it afterwards after I spotted their mistake."

I've given up on the boy, he just has to put bothfeet into his mouth prior to typing.

As with Apollo 11, an OHRC view of Apollo 12's site has also been released via a webinar.

Another chunk of TMC images were released yesterday, but again no new coverage of Apollo sites there.

From a batch of files released over the weekend, Chandrayaan 2's nadir TMC sees Apollo 11, as imaged on February 7 this year.

Obviously faked. They put a mock lander on the Moon where the 'real' one is supposed to be, just in case anyone tried to come along and take photos.

Same view from the aft camera. As with the nadir view I did some HDR toning to bring out detail, but it's easily seen without it. The map viewer for Chandrayaan didn't update until today, so I missed the second view (I used the shape files in Google Moon, which aren't perfect).
