NASA has developed a stunning view of the Moon using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and combined with the views recorded by Apollo 13 astronauts during their risky trek around the far side in 1970.
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is now in an eccentric polar mapping orbit around the Moon. NASA will use the data obtained by the spacecraft to plan future robotic and manned missions to the lunar surface. For nearly 12 years, the LRO has been studying and photographing the moon. On June 18, 2009, the mission was launched. It is one of NASA’s most successful lunar missions, and the spacecraft has enough fuel to last for another seven years as of 2019.
Getting this sort of data back in 1970 was impossible and now modern technology has once again proved that humans did go to Moon and not just go there but astronauts aboard the Six Apollo missions landed there as well.
