Having spent the last 15 years assembling high resolution, seamless panoramas from the Apollo missions, by combining dozens of separate photos into single panoramic images, Mike Constantine has now turned those panoramic images into videos with the mission audio added giving the viewer a crystal clear view of what the Astronauts saw on the moon, as opposed to the grainy TV footage already seen before.Starting with Apollo 11 these newly assembled images now have the voices of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin describing the scene from the lunar surface as the panoramas were being captured.
The Apollo 11 panorama video can also be viewed on Mike Constantine's YouTube channel and on the MoonPans website. Constantine is planning on adding videos from the other moon landings, Apollo missions 12 to 17.
For best results choose the highest quality, expand to full screen and turn on your sound.
Apollo 11 only captured a handful of panoramas and the terrain was very flat, but as the missions progressed the terrain got more spectacular and the time spent on the lunar surface grew longer, so the videos will get much more interesting as they get to the "J-Missions" (Apollo 15, 16 and 17).
You can subscribe to the channel to get the new videos as they are uploaded.
