A BRITISH photographer has unearthed what is thought to be the last photo ever taken on the Moon. Andy Saunders, a leading expert of NASA restoration, has shared the extraordinary newly remastered …
He said: "I've been obsessed with the Apollo missions since childhood.
"I always craved more and more information about the people who made the journey, the rockets, the spacecraft and I wanted to see more, to imagine what it would be like to make the journey myself. "When looking at old photographs of the Apollo missions, I used to become frustrated; the quality of images we usually see is very low resolution, because for half-a-century, every image we've seen in the media has been based on duplicate film and low-quality scans.He added: "I've assessed every image on film from the entire Apollo programme.
"That's 35,000 photographs and every frame of the 10 hours of 'movie' footage that the astronauts captured on small format movie cameras."And only then could I begin to research what we can see in the images by studying the transcripts and tapes of air-to-ground communications during the missions, such as who took them or what the astronauts were saying at the time.
So he merged the shots together to reveal the detailed image which was hailed by scientists as “poignant” and “touching”.
