APOLLO 15 AS 15 82-11131 HR.jpgAS 15-82-11131 - Flat Rock (HR)370 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Cross-Sun of the flat rock at Station 9 from the north, showing two prominent horizontal lineations and the parallel frothy, vesicular layer on top. Remarkably, there is no discussion of this rock in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report".
Nota: avete letto bene. Della roccia - forse - pi enigmatica fra quelle incontrate dall'equipaggio dell Apollo 15 durante i Moon-Walks NON si parla (...there is no discussion...) nel fondamentale documento che risponde al nome di "Apollo 15 - Preliminary Science Report".
E bisogna anche dire che sono stati onesti a dircelo!...
Nota: pi che una "flat-rock" (---->roccia piatta) a noi questa roccia sembra la parte superiore di una struttura parzialmente sepolta o, addirittura, un frammento di una struttura molto pi complessa ed ora in rovina...

APOLLO 15 AS 15 82-11164 HR-2.jpgAS 15-82-11164 - Great Scott! (HR)230 visiteOriginal caption:"166:09:44 MT. (...) this is a "before" of sample 15555, generally known as 'Great Scott', a 9,6 Kg piece of basalt and the largest Apollo 15 sample.
The Apollo 15 Photographic Index incorrectly indicates that this picture was taken at Station 10.

APOLLO 15 AS 15 82-11129.jpgAS 15-82-11129 - Is it safe to park here?!?...213 visiteOriginal caption:"165:27:02 MT. Jim's "locator" to the Rover from the "fragment with a great number of vesicles". Dave is holding the 500-mm lens and is examining the far wall of the rille.

This frame from Jim's Station 10 pan shows the in-bound Rover tracks coming in from the right, with the fully-lit Western "face" of Mt. Hadley, in the distance.

APOLLO 15 AS 15 84-11242 HR-1.jpgAS 15-84-11242 - Pluton and Eaglecrest Crater (HR)168 visiteOriginal caption:"106:56:54 MT. This first frame in Dave's 500-mm SEVA coverage of the North Complex shows Pluton Crater and, above it, Eaglecrest Crater. This is one of the few 500-mm images that Dave took without the camera being perfectly steady. By using "FocusMagic" to deblur the image it seems that a 4-pixel deblurring (next frame) along a line 50 counterclockwise from vertical worked best.

APOLLO 15 AS 15 84-11243 HR-1.jpgAS 15-84-11243 - Pluton Crater (HR)174 visiteOriginal caption:"106:56:54 MT. Rightward of AS 84-11242, showing more of Pluton Crater.
Scan courtesy NASA Johnson.
Nota: una curiosit. Questo cratere che abbiamo visto - discretamente - negli ultimi 3 frames stato chiamato "Plutone" poich esso, a differenza della grande maggioranza dei crateri lunari esplorati (per cos dire "da vicino") dagli Astronauti, pare che fosse profondissimo.
Talmente profondo, che non si riusc - forse anche a causa della sua conformazione e configurazione interna - a vederne il fondo.
Ed a proposito dell'interno dei crateri: avete notato che sono piuttosto rare (eufemismo!) le fotografie Apollo che mostrano l'interno dei crateri di media dimensione investigati dagli Astronauti? Forse, l'idea di sporgersi verso l'interno di uno di quei "buchi" faceva un p paura. O forse quello che c' dentro ai crateri di media dimensione investigati dagli Astronauti ancora Top-Secret (Cone Crater docet).
Chiss...
