Fly me to the moon

A fine job by nerds - restoring and making digital photos taken from the first unmanned spacecraft to orbit the moon.
The Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project has since 2007 brought some 2,000 pictures back from 1,500 analog data tapes. They contain the first high-resolution photographs ever taken from behind the lunar horizon, including the first photo of an earthrise.
