This is a composite picture of the area that Apollo 15 landed in. This mission spent 3 days on the moon's surface, far longer than earlier missions. This gave the astronauts more time to stir up dust in the surrounding area. This, coupled with the disturbance cause by the lander's rockets made enough of a mark on the lunar surface to be just visible on the photograph. The dark spot indicated by arrow A corresponds exactly to that landing site. Arrows B & C show recent meteor impacts.
Now I'd be the first to admit that this isn't conclusive proof, but still evidence and the clearest pictures we're going to get until the SELENE mission. Clementine Satellite Photos |
I think I missed this post originally. Thanks for sharing Knot_E... but like you said it is not really conclusive proof. I would like to think that getting a detailed photo of the landing/take-off site should be possible these days with modern technology.
The thing that really bugs me are all those shadow anomilies from the photos taken on the moon. Have those shadow theories been debunked?
