Apollo Landing Sites Finally Imaged

LROC NAC image showing the Apollo 14 lunar module (LM Antares) and the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package (ALSEP). Note the astronaut tracks between the two artifacts.
This is the first time the Apollo landing sites were imaged since the missions themselves. However, the lunar conspiracy theorists will probably claim these pictures were faked. These pictures are not even the highest resolution LRO can provide, future observation will have twice this much detail. More pictures...
