Default Apollo Lander spotted on film by Lunar Scout

Probably a repost but here you go!

For stubborn folks who still believe the Apollo astronauts never landed on the moon, NASA has new images — definitive proof — that clearly show the Apollo 11 lander that carried the first astronauts to the lunar surface 40 years ago. The images were taken by NASA's first lunar scout in more than a decade, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. They show the Eagle lunar lander at Tranquility Base, where Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on July 20, 1969. They were snapped between July 11 and 15 of this month and released by NASA on Friday.
All indications are that these are the first in a series of photographs to come... the lunar scout will descend in its trajectory and photograph the sites from lower and lower orbital altitude which should yield much more clarity in the images

more images showing the "trail" of footprints leading to and from the lander and "scientific equipment"
