The locations of the flag shadow, experiment package, astronaut paths, and the Surveyor 3 spacecraft are marked. This visualization uses LROC NAC image M175428601 (40 cm per pixel) and a digital terrain model derived from NAC stereo image pairs (2 meters per pixel) to fly over the Apollo 12 landing site. Because the Lunar Module in the NAC image looks oddly flat when viewed at an oblique angle, a 3D model of the descent stage was added.
