Incredible Online Gallery of High-Res Film Scans from Every Apollo Mission
PetaPixel ^ | 7/21/2013 | Staff

The title sort of gives it away, but did you know that there is an online archive that contains high-resolution film scans from every Apollo mission? The gallery contains all of the incredible photos taken during each of the missions — from Apollo 1 all the way through Apollo 17 — with some 1,000+ photos from Apollo 11 alone.

The archive, officially the Apollo Image Gallery, was put together by the Project Apollo Archive by scanning photographs provided by the NASA History Office, Kennedy Space Center and Johnson Space Center.

Since all of these images were taken by NASA astronauts in the course of duty, they’re all Public Domain and free for you to browse through, download, share and use to your heart’s content.

I’m guessing that solar radiation has completely bleached out all of the color in the flag in just a few months after they planted it.

No, according to records, they applied sunscreen.

I don’t see it. The thing that looks like a battleship?

Yep. Right in the center of the photo. It's a real object, which has never been officially explained (as far as I know).

People have enlarged that image and carefully studied it. Lots of folks out there have concluded that it's an artificial structure of some sort.

Thanks again, Islander7, seems like a good GGG topic as well.
