Moon Tuesday 19th November 2019 - Apollo 12 has landed!

Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad became the third man ever to walk on the moon, four months after Armstrong & Aldrin, followed by Alan L. Bean. (In the Command Module was Richard F. Gordon.)

It landed in Oceanus Procellarum on 19th November 1969, at 06:54:35 - the same time as I took these photos!

They landed at 3.01239 degrees South, 23.42157 degrees West, later named Statio Cognitum, though better known to the crew as "Pete's Parking Lot".

'Mr. Bean' had the first lunar colour television camera but he accidentally destroyed it by pointing it at the Sun. Whoops!

Time 06:34 & 07:08.
Distance 231,838 miles.
Waning gibbous phase.
205 degrees SW compass point (azimuth).
