Description
This is a huge file. It is a radar picture of the landing site of Apollo 15. Get in close enough, expand the picture, and you can see the landing site AND THE LANDER. It is just off the mountain where The Rille (a collapsed lava tube) takes a sharp turn away from the mountain. It's capable of seeing objects 16 feet across. The lander is 22 feet wide. It's there. Fully visual.Radar has come a long way.
How long? How far away is the Moon? See my post: Earth and Moon captured at 1.9 million miles awayThe photograph shows the distance and size difference.
