The Project Apollo Archive has uploaded almost ten thousand photos taken by Apollo astronauts during lunar missions to the website Flickr for anyone to view and download.

Unlike the images included in the Project Apollo Archive and the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, the new Flickr set has not been processed.
These include blurry outtakes and intimate shots of astronauts shaving during the three-day journey between Earth and the moon.
The project’s lead, Kipp Teague, told The Planetary Society that the collection includes every single photo taken on the moon’s surface, along with the voyage there and back. These are high-resolution, unprocessed, and mostly new images.
The images are even grouped into the film magazines in which they were exposed.
Here’s a couple of our favourites to give you an idea of what to expect in the collection, which gives us our best look yet at the Apollo missions from the viewpoint of the astronauts who were present. You can now do so right on Flickr.

The photos have been uploaded at 1800 dpi resolution and have been sorted by the camera roll they came from, so space fans can feel like they were there.
