Scientists may have just found a lost 1967 spacecraft that took “the picture of the century” before crashing on the Moon.
The Lunar Orbiter 2 was sent to the moon to map out possible landing sites for the Apollo missions, and although its efforts weren't the most successful, the spacecraft made its mark in history for taking a photograph of the lunar surface (shown above) widely considered the “picture of the century.”
NASA intentional crashed the satellite on the far side of the moon, out of the sight of telescopes and radios -- meaning the space agency has no idea what happened to the craft.
