Photos of Apollo lunar landing sites

This is pretty cool -- photos of the Apollo landing sites, taken at different times of day by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

This is amazing, I thought they had lost track of the site where Apollo 11 had landed!

One experiment deployed on the Apollo 11 mission was the Lunar Ranging Retro-Reflector (LRRR), a passive reflector still in use today to measure the distance to the moon with a LASER.
