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."
