After four decades of collecting dust in NASA's archives, the first images ever taken of the lunar landscape have been released after a high-tech restoration effort. Original footage of NASA's surveys were stored on large video reels with grainy resolution. The images have been restored to a fidelity that rivals modern cameras and are the most detailed images ever taken of the moon's surface. The resurrected footage could potentially reveal information that had not yet been uncovered and push forward man's understanding of his home planet's lone natural satellite.
