Apollo_13_Views_of_the_Moon_in_4K

1 year ago

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. These visualizations, in 4K resolution, depict many
different views of the lunar surface, starting with earthset
and sunrise and concluding with the time Apollo 13
reestablished radio contact with Mission Control. Also
depicted is the path of the free return trajectory around the
Moon, and a continuous view of the Moon throughout that
path. All views have been sped up for timing purposes -
they are not shown in "real-time."
