月球塵埃和膠帶
Lunar Dust and Duct Tape

發表日期:2025-03-28
月球為何塵土飛揚?在地球上,岩石被風和水風化,形成土壤和沙子。在月球上,長年累月的微隕石轟擊在岩石表面,形成了一層粉狀的月球土壤或碎屑。 對於阿波羅宇航員和他們的裝置來說,無處不在的細小沙塵無疑是個問題。 1972 年 12 月,在月球表面,阿波羅 17 號宇航員哈里森-施密特(Harrison Schmitt)和尤金-塞爾南(Eugene Cernan)需要修理他們的漫遊車的一個擋泥板,以防止公雞尾巴般的塵埃落在他們自己和他們的裝置上。這張照片展示了他們被灰塵覆蓋的漫遊車的車輪和擋泥板,以及備用地圖、夾子和灰色 "膠帶 "的巧妙應用。 北半球警報 : 3 月 29 日偏食
原文:Why is the Moon so dusty? On Earth, rocks are weathered by wind and water, creating soil and sand. On the Moon, eons of constant micrometeorite bombardment have blasted away at the rocky surface creating a layer of powdery lunar soil or regolith. For the Apollo astronauts and their equipment, the pervasive, fine, gritty dust was definitely a problem. On the lunar surface in December 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan needed to repair one of their rover's fenders in an effort to keep the rooster tails of dust away from themselves and their gear. This picture reveals the wheel and fender of their dust covered rover along with the ingenious application of spare maps, clamps, and a grey strip of "duct tape".
