What does a bootprint on the Moon look like up close?
Taken #OTD in 1969 on Apollo 12, this always gets lots of attention at #ApolloRemastered exhibitions.
It's actually one of a stereoscopic pair. So here's both, remastered from the original film and animated into a 'wobble 3D'.
55 years ago today! Nov 19, 1969.
Pete Conrad descends the ladder to become the 3rd human to set foot on the Moon.
Alan Bean (seen reflected, through the hatch): "Let me get the old camera on you, babe!"
This was one of the more difficult images to work on for #ApolloRemastered.
