Here are the uncensored Moon Images taken by the Lunar Orbiter!
According to Arizona State University, the Lunar Orbiter images were all digitally scanned at 400 dpi at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. Whole images were too large to be scanned at once and were broken up into four sections.

From the data and resources about each lunar orbiter image found in Anderson and Miller (1971), they obtained information about the side length, altitude and emission angle of the images they scanned. To calculate the resolution of each image they followed several steps. They first calculated the resolution of images with an emission angle of less than 10° by dividing the side length of each image by the number of pixels, and then calculated the distance to the surface by dividing the altitude by the cosine of the emission angle. The resolution of low-emission angle images was plotted against their distance to the surface. From this was obtained the best-fit equation:
Corrected Resolution = -0.0023272 + 0.014376 * Distance to Surface
and applied it to the remaining images to get the corrected resolution.

  • I just want some high def puctures of this shit, all clear. Is that so fucking much to ask. When can the religion age die and the space age begin? Im tired of the fanatical bullshit. My wallet has suffered enough from bullshit war.

  • A great finding, mikesinghATS. Nature hates parallel lines and 90° angles. Extraterrestrials are around our Planet these days with a continuous presence.

  • @scotto330 Nasa has the capability with HD. They don't want to show anything clear on the moon. Don't you get it?

  • ok....I have a question....I'm not a rocket scientist so can somebody answer this question?......we have the hubble telescope in space.....why can't we just point that thing towards the moon and have a really good look for all of these "bases" and what not?.....just asking, thats all.....

  • My 6 year old cell phone takes better photos, this is cocka

  • just crap....when you come up with a high def image, then you'll have something...till then it's all just an illusion.....just crap.

  • @78hunterd the darkmoon movie is propganda to make you think its nothing in the back side of moon, couse movies=fantasy

  • @myGodsAreAliens we got satelits that takes clear pictures from space on a number plate here on earth, but we cant get 1 single photo that aint blurry with low quality.... it has to be that way for one single purpose (they dont want you to see whats out there)

  • 1:10 not 1:12

  • 1:12 Is it just me or is that a broken rubex cube on the moon thats not squared shape?

  • Its a bad idea to not censor your *UNDERWEAR AND PANTS ARE TAKEN OFF* Awh crap.*CENSORED*
