Apollo 13 Views of the Moon
In 1970, the Apollo 13 crew had to orbit the far side of the Moon to return to Earth after their spacecraft was damaged. This image recreates those views using detailed images from the robotic Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The far side of the Moon, mostly unseen from Earth, is heavily cratered.
