Orbiter photos show lunar modules from first 2 moon landings more than 50 years later

The Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan 2 orbiter has captured images of the lunar modules from the first two successful moon landings, more than 50 years after the historic events. The images show the landing sites of the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 missions, which took place in 1969 and 1969, respectively. The lunar modules, which carried the astronauts to the moon's surface, are clearly visible in the high-resolution photographs. The images provide a unique perspective on these iconic moments in space exploration, allowing researchers to study the sites and the equipment left behind. The preservation of these landing sites is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Apollo program and the continued interest in exploring the moon. The Chandrayaan 2 orbiter's successful capture of these images underscores the ongoing advancements in lunar exploration and the potential for future missions to further our understanding of the moon and its history.
