Apollo 12: Pinpoint for Science

A recording of the Apollo 8 astronauts reading from the book of Genesis.

The LRO camera team has discovered more than two-dozen new impact craters – including an 18-meter-wide crater caused by a bright flash on March 17, 2013.

Not everyone gets to become a part of history, but mathematician Billie Robertson is one of the lucky ones.

Astronaut James A. Lovell Jr., commander of the Apollo 13 lunar landing mission, pauses for a quick photo while training for the Apollo 13 mission.

Three days prior to its planned impact on a lunar mountain, mission controllers activated the camera aboard one of NASA's GRAIL twins to take some final photos from lunar orbit.

This NASA video details the first journey of men around the moon.
