Apollo 13 Views of the Moon
This video uses data gathered from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft to recreate
some of the stunning views of the Moon that the Apollo 13 astronauts saw on their perilous
journey around the farside in 1970. These visualizations, in 4K resolution, depict many
different views of the lunar surface, starting with earthset and sunrise and concluding with the
time Apollo 13 reestablished radio contact with Mission Control. Also depicted is the path of
the free return trajectory around the Moon, and a continuous view of the Moon throughout
that path.
