NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. Images show the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored the lunar surface.

[Conspiracy hat on]
The images do not line up perfectly because of differences in lighting conditions, angle of the LRO Camera, and other variables. Image brightness and contrast have been altered to highlight surface details

Hmmmmm.

Well, personally I find it EXTREMELY suspicious that they haven't photographed the Apollo 11 site. And the reason? IT WAS FAKED EVERYONE!

(Not really of course ;))

The landing never took place, because the moon itself doesn't exist. Merely an illusion to have gullible people believe in tides and werewolves.
Fortunately, I know better.
