Mapping the Moon for Apollo 11 Active Galactic 2019-07-18 | Distant Lens, an original documentary short from Active Galactic, tells the unbelievable true story of how a scrappy group of planetary scientists at the University of Arizona put their knowledge to the ultimate test to provide NASA with the vital information they neededto send a man to the moon.
