阿波羅 14 號:從安塔瑞斯看世界
Apollo 14: A View from Antares

發表日期:2024-02-03
阿波羅 14 號的登月艙 "安塔瑞斯 "號於 1971 年 2 月 5 日登陸月球。在停留即將結束時,宇航員埃德-米切爾(Ed Mitchell)從窗戶向外眺望,拍攝了一系列月球表面的照片,《阿波羅月球表面日誌》編輯埃裡克-瓊斯(Eric Jones)將這些照片拼接成了這張詳細的馬賽克照片。阿波羅 14 號宇航員在月球上完成第二次也是最後一次行走後,窗外是著陸點西北方向的弗拉毛羅高地。前景中最顯眼的是他們的模組化裝置運輸車,這是一種類似人力車的雙輪裝置,用於攜帶工具和樣本。靠近地平線的上方中央是一塊 1 . 5 米寬的巨石,被稱為 "海龜巖"。在海龜巖下面的淺坑裡,有一個取樣儀器的白色長柄,是米切爾用標槍式投擲的。米切爾的登月同伴、第一個進入太空的美國人艾倫-謝潑德(Alan Shepard)也用臨時製作的六號鐵桿擊打了兩個高爾夫球。謝潑德的一個高爾夫球就在米切爾標槍下方的一個白點處。
原文:Apollo 14's Lunar Module Antares landed on the Moon on February 5, 1971. Toward the end of the stay astronaut Ed Mitchell snapped a series of photos of the lunar surface while looking out a window, assembled into this detailed mosaic by Apollo Lunar Surface Journal editor Eric Jones. The view looks across the Fra Mauro highlands to the northwest of the landing site after the Apollo 14 astronauts had completed their second and final walk on the Moon. Prominent in the foreground is their Modular Equipment Transporter, a two-wheeled, rickshaw-like device used to carry tools and samples. Near the horizon at top center is a 1.5 meter wide boulder dubbed Turtle rock. In the shallow crater below Turtle rock is the long white handle of a sampling instrument, thrown there javelin-style by Mitchell. Mitchell's fellow moonwalker and first American in space, Alan Shepard, also used a makeshift six iron to hit two golf balls. One of Shepard's golf balls is just visible as a white spot below Mitchell's javelin.
