2021 February 04 - Apollo 14: A View from Antares
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2021-02-04

In today's image, we see an image taken nearly 50 years ago shortly before the crew of Apollo 14 lifted off the moon to rendezvous with the command module in lunar orbit for their return journey to Earth. The footprints and track visible in the image would still look exactly the same today, nearly 50 years later, since there is little weathering or erosion on our Moon.
