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."
