In the news I missed – then discovered two days later category, an image from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) showing the location of the Apollo 11 lander on the moon.
Image from NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Arizona State University
The lander can be seen in the centre of the image, casting a shadow to the right. The sites of Apollo 14, 15, 16, and 17 have also been photographed, and 12 is planned in the next few weeks.
Will this convince those who think NASA faked it? Ha. If only.

independent confirmation would be nice.
photoshopped
Mythbusters broached this subject last night. I didn't see all of it, but they were doing their best to perform some independent confirmation.
Don't be haters, guys.
Science made their issue from 1970, presenting studies on rock and regiolith samples, free to all today.
