How is it that pics of the moon from the 1970's show a much clearer image of the moon, more craters and less smooth surface? I just found this pic, and would like some of the moon watchers comments:
I can't locate the whole moon shot that is so much clearer than what we see today, and it was from the 70's. I also want to know where our equipment is up there, and shouldn't we be able to see it today? Where are the plethora of pics from the back side of the moon? I can't believe we haven't taken great pics of it.
Any links would be appreciated.
