They seem to be right where they are supposed to be. Did you look at the larger image?

The ALSEP is right there by the doublet.

Give it time. The best is yet to come. Your image:
At this distance the image scale is 27 cm/pixel (with 1 x 1 binning) so objects ~81 cm across are resolved.

LRO will have it beat (matched at least, we'll see) when it hits its stride.
The best is yet to come! Once LRO finishes commissioning operations and enters its 50-km x 50-km mapping orbit, a maneuver currently scheduled for mid-August, the LROC NAC will take images over 8% of the Moon at 50-cm/pixel.

Cool! That would mean we MIGHT POSSIBLY be able to see the American Flag? Is it possible is all I am asking? See some Stars and Bars?

Like I said above, it would have to be some damn close up images.

I thought this probe was looking to scout possible landing sites for manned missions in 2020/ Wouldn't they have the ability to take better images (more close up and detailed).

Sorry NASA, this proves nothing to me.


believe me, I would LOVE for NASA to debunk the moon landing hoax theory, but your right, these pics just dont do it for me... could be anything, including ET technology if you believe in that stuff.
I truly hope that one day NASA can prove beyond a reasonable doubt we went and landed on the moon. I think they should.
Its the fool that believes anything they are told, the wise that question everything.

I seriously doubt that after 40 years of unfiltered ultraviolet radiation there will be anything left of the nylon.

Well would it actually fall since there is no wind to blow on it? Only the vibrations of the rocks banging into the moon to disturb it. I mean Technically couldn't you build a house of cards on the moon and since there is no atmosphere it would not get blown over? I understand there is gravity but is the Solar Wind an Actual "Wind" that blows stuff?

The solar wind actually does blow stuff away from the Moon. But the disintegrating flags would lightly sprinkle to the regolith. Perhaps forming a small mound retaining a bit of its former colorful glory. (how very poignant).

What does -20º lunar apogee mean?
What does 30º of aperture mean?

Apogee is the highest part of an Earth orbit and is expressed in units of distance (kilometers, miles).

Aperture is the opening of the iris of the camera and is expressed as an f-stop value (f/1.8)

I refuse to believe that an American Flag can be disintegrated by some Commie Pinko Radiation! No Sun of mine is going to be Un-American!

Oh well that sucks. We need to plant a new flag up there that is indestructible!

That is pretty cool. I have never heard of Moon Storms before.

Ok, but why would an unmanned lander be parked at Apollo's landing sites? With the notable exception of apollo 12, that shouldn't be the case.
its not an unmanned probe its the decent stage that they leave behind.
