Observing the Apollo Landing Sites on the Moon

Observing the Apollo Landing Sites on the Moon - from the Earth and From Lunar Orbit
By: Randy Attwood - RASC Mississauga Centre

The general areas where the six Apollo lunar missions landed can easily be spotted with backyard telescopes. However, it is impossible to spot evidence of the landings. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been orbing the Moon for over 2 years. It has taken pictures of all the Apollo landing sites as well other unmanned craft on the surface. Interest in these sites is increasing as we get closer to visiting them with unmanned craft and potentially manned visits in the future. What will visitors to these sites find? What has happened on the Moon in the past 40 years?
