This book is for anyone who wants to be able to connect the history of lunar exploration
to the Moon visible above. It addresses what Apollo equipment and experiments were
left behind and what the Apollo landings sites look like now. Each Apollo mission
is examined in detail, with photos that progressively zoom-in to guide the reader
in locating the Apollo landing sites. Guided by official NASA photographs from the
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the original Apollo missions, the reader can view
the Moon with a new appreciation of the accomplishment of landing astronauts on its
surface. Countless people have gazed at the Moon in the night sky knowing the successes
of the Apollo Program in landing men on the Moon. After the information in this guide,
casual and serious observers can actually point out where the Apollo landings occurred
as well as knowing whythose sites were chosen
