[NASA Press Release - 14.11.2008]
NASA released a newly restored 42-year-old image of Earth on Thursday. The Lunar Orbiter 1 spacecraft took the iconic photograph of Earth rising above the lunar surface in 1966.
Using refurbished machinery and modern digital technology, NASA produced the image at a much higher resolution than was possible when it was originally taken. The data may help the next generation of explorers as NASA prepares to return to the moon.
The Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) is currently organizing the 40th annual meeting of the DSP at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. The conference treats topics relevant to planetary science.
The various sessions are broadcasted live, and also available as web-streams after the sessions ends. Two sessions are dedicated to lunar exploration, you can find them here:
