Top 4K Moon Views from Apollo 13 HD

This animation uses information acquired by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft to recreate some of the breathtaking images of the Moon that the Apollo 13 astronauts witnessed during their dangerous trip around the far side in 1970. These 4K visualizations show several views of the lunar surface from various angles, beginning with earth's sunset and dawn and ending with the moment Apollo 13 restored radio communication with Mission Control. A continuous image of the Moon is shown together with the free return trajectory's route around the Moon.
