Every Moon Photo Shot by Apollo Astronauts is Now on Flickr

They’ll be showcasing new renderings of a few of the best imagery, and other rare images including Apollo 11 training photos. The incredible stockpile includes almost every photo taken my astronauts during the missions.

NASA has just released never-before-seen high-resolution photos from its Apollo archive, providing a glimpse into the incredible lunar missions of the 1960s and 70s. “These images were processed for inclusion on our websites, including adjusting color and brightness levels, and reducing the images in size to about 1000 dpi (dots per inch) for the high-resolution versions”. You can now do so right on Flickr.

We’ve selected a few of our favorites from each mission, but it’s worth checking out the entire collection on Flickr. A quick warning, you could be viewing these images for hours!

Could the object in the video – assuming it is real and not an optical illusion of imperfection in the film – be the same as the source of the three-light pattern spotted with a few difficulty in the following NASA photo, also snapped during man’s last walk on the moon, on either December 12 or December 13 of 1972?
