Apollo 16: "Nothing So Hidden"

This time lapse video taken during ISS Expedition 42 is assembled from JSC still photo collection.

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

In the early hours of April 15, 2014, our pale moon will turn blood orange red. This spectacle will mark the first of four consecutive total lunar eclipses, a series known as a tetrad.
