Back in 1969, Apollo 12 made its historic moon landing. But get this – 33 years later, a part of it mysteriously vanished! Turns out, astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad left behind a camera timer on the moon's surface. Fast forward to 2002, and a group of scientists using lunar satellite images found the thing! Talk about a blast from the past, right? So, for over three decades, that little piece of Apollo 12 was just chilling up there, waiting for its moment in the spotlight. Guess space really does have a knack for keeping secrets. #brightside Credit: Saturn V: Steve Jurvetson – https://flic.kr/p/5j1urX, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jurvetson_-_Saturn_V_Launch_(by).jpg CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/: EUS VS SIVB: ThePrimalEarth, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EUS_VS_SIVB.jpg Solar System Scope: Solar System Scope, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Solarsystemscope_texture_8k_moon.jpg NASA/JSC NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
