Pixel Hoax

I am finding a lot of good science stuff today! Here's another bit: The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) on board the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), has photoshopped a bunch of pixels on some of its most recent images to make it look as if the moon landings actually happened! In the image below, it looks as if you can see the Apollo 14 landing module, the lunar lab (ALSEP), and the tracks in between them. Those silly jokers! They can't fool me!Four times enlargement of an uncalibrated LROC NAC image showing the Apollo 14 lunar module (LM Antares) and the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package (ALSEP). Note the astronaut tracks between the two artifacts [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. The full-sized image is here.
