Apollo 15 Photos Remastered by Andy Saunders Show Glorious Pictures of Moon Exploration
Last week marked the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 15 mission. On July 29, 1971, astronaut David R. Scott, James B. Irwin and Alfred M. Worden entered lunar orbit. The next day, Scott and Irwin landed on the Moon and used the Lunar Excursion Module (lovingly called the Lunar Rover) to explore the area.Over at USA Today, 'Apollo Remastered' author Andy Saunders showcased enhanced images from the mission. Saunders had spent 10 years remastering NASA photographs and has gone through 35,000 images. Many of the old photos weren't shown to the public because of their poor quality. "But with digital enhancement, suddenly now we can see things that we couldn’t see before, and they’re amazing images," he said.In this Instagram image above, Saunders stitched together four Hasselblad 70mm film frames to create a magnificent panorama of the Apollo Lunar Module next to the tracks left by the rover.#NASA #Apollo15 #moon #MoonRover #LunarRover #moonlanding #spaceexploration #AndySaunders #astronaut
