Lunokhod prove whether the Americans were on the Moon
NASA discovered a new access to a vast array of photos taken by automatic probe Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) - it is now in the orbit of the Moon.
Prove whether the shots were the Americans on the moon or not? ..
Images - more than a hundred thousand. In the past, taken from a height of just 50 kilometers, enthusiasts found landers nearly all US missions. Since the first - Apollo 11, took place in 1969 and ending with the last - Apollo 17.
Now looking for pictures with LRO equipment left by the Soviet Union - rovers and a series of automatic stations "Luna". And they find.
In the picture are clearly visible traces of the "Lunokhod-2»
Recently, a Canadian researcher Phil knock at the University of Western Ontario, said that he found the missing Soviet "Lunokhod". What looked like a sensation.
Our "Lunokhod-1" is really gone. In 1970, it gave automatic station "Luna-17". After a series of successful experiments on the reflection from Earth sent laser pulses propelled machine seemed to disappear. That is the place where he was staying in the area of the Sea of Rains, it is known for sure. And there is no answer.
Americans for some reason trying to find the "Lunokhod-1" aggressively "sweeping the" lunar surface with a laser beam. And it is difficult to miss the mark - spot area is 25 square kilometers. Nothing found.
And Canadians, as it turned out, found not the first and the second unit - "Lunokhod-2". But he never lost, is in the Sea of clarity. His reflectors are still functioning.

Unexpected confirmation
"Lunokhod-2" came together with the station "Luna-21" in 1973. She sat down at about 150 kilometers from Apollo 17. And one of the legends of the unit went to the site, which were active in 1972 and the Americans went on his self-propelled carriage.
Like "Lunokhod-2", equipped with a camera, had to remove the left astronauts technique. And confirmed that they were indeed there. In the Soviet Union still doubted, though never officially in the not recognized.
Our self-moving vehicle traveled 37 kilometers - a record of movement of other celestial bodies. He really could get to Apollo 17, but caught the loose soil from the edge of the crater and overheated.
The picture shows the "Lunokhod-2" looks like a small dark spot. And if not for the marks of the wheels, then find the unit would probably impossible. Even knowing the coordinates.
Equally vague looks and self-propelled machine Apollo 17 expedition. Although it is larger. Similarity - in pictures - both units probably indicates both of them are on the Moon. Our something - exactly. This one never doubted. But the Americans were suspected of fraud. Apparently, nothing. They were on the moon. At least in 1972.
