An Apollo 12 Panorama
Explanation:
The
Apollo 12 mission was the
second ever to land humans on the Moon.
The mission was
dedicated to studying the
Moon,
developing techniques, and developing instruments that
could be used in future
lunar landings.
Astronauts
Charles (Pete) Conrad and Alan Bean spent just under two days on the lunar surface
in November 1969, while
Richard Gordon orbited above in the
Command Module.
Pictured above in this digitally stitched panorama, Alan Bean works near the
Lunar Module.
Scrolling to the right will reveal a
dark color panorama where flat lunar terrain and a
tall video camera are visible.
Apollo 12 mission astronauts visited the
site of the nearby
Surveyor 3 robot spacecraft
that had landed on the moon three years earlier.
