Remarkable new images of the Apollo landing sites on the Moon have just been released by Nasa.
The pictures clearly show the hardware left on the lunar surface by American astronauts in the 1960s and 70s, including Apollo 17's "moon buggy".
The images were acquired by the robotic Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which has been circling Earth's satellite since 2009.
Such shots have been returned before, but these are the best yet.
LRO has recently lowered its orbit from 50km above the Moon's surface to just 25km.

Shopped. I can tell by the pixels and having seen quite a few shoppes in my time.

This must be a fake, because if there is the wind blowing (and we know that because the flag is moving), the footprints can not be there after more than 40 years!

It seems like "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Windows" was used (for the image at the 'full image' link (584391main_M168000580LR_ap17_area-nolabel.jpg))
