The Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project* (LOIRP) has released a
newly-retrieved, high resolution image taken of the lunar surface 42
years ago.
*
This image was taken by Lunar Orbiter III* (LPI data) in February 1967.
This oblique photo shows the region around the crater Galilaei and
Planitia Descensus in Oceanus Procellarum (the Sea of Storms). In the
upper center of the image you can see the Great Wall of Procellarum.
