Video: Zoom in On The Restored Copernicus “Picture of the Century”

This high resolution image, subframe 2162_H3, was taken by Lunar Orbiter 2 on 24 November 1966 at 00:05:42 GMT. The crater Copernicus is shown at an oblique angle. This video is from an enhanced version of the original image produced by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP). Using better-tuned equipment and experience gained along the way, we decided to make a second pass at this wonderous photo. The result was worth the effort.

The original high resolution subframes can be seen here: subframe 2162_H3, subframe 2162_H2, subframe 2162_H1
