NASA Photographs Moon Junk
WASHINGTON (July 17, 2009)--A NASA spacecraft has taken the first-ever photos from space showing the equipment that was left behind when man went to the moon.
The images released Friday are from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which was launched last month, show the landing sites from Apollo 11, which landed 40 years ago on Monday, and four other Apollo missions.
On the Apollo 11 landing site, there's a fuzzy image near a crater that’s the Eagle lunar module, which took Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the moon.
The images for Apollo 14 are the best so far.
They show the tracks made by astronauts Alan Shepard Jr. and Edgar Mitchell.
