Apollo 11 Photographs Unfrozen

GoneGaryT writes "Wow! NASA has pulled another set of photographs, this time of Apollo 11's trip, out of the freezer and digitized them. They are glorious. I'm just checking out the first ever 'Earthrise' sequence and they are beautiful." I'll cherry-pick a few for you: 1, 2, 3.

    Finally! Someone else with some basic knowledge of the solar system! I thought I was the only one who had a clue about objects orbiting in tidal lock. EARTHRISE IS IMPOSSIBLE ON THE MOON! THESE PICTURES ARE FAKE!
