The Terminator has moved across to almost a
perfect arc for three Luna landings, and is pretty much exactly on the
site of Luna 17!
Luna 17 landed in 1970, 47 years ago.
As well as 4 TV cameras it had... an x-ray spectrometer, an x-ray telescope, cosmic-ray detectors and a laser - wow!
It's still there and was photographed in 2010 by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter!
