APOLLO_12_AS_12-57-8445_HR-a.jpgAS 12-57-8445 (a) - Soil surface disturbed by the LM descent engine exhaust (coloring: Lunexit)55 visiteQuesto frame, a parte l'evidente (e recente) "crack" del suolo, ci riserva un dettaglio davvero intrigante: guardate in alto, alla Vostra Dx, proprio a ridosso del margine superiore del frame.
Lo vedete?
Sembra un "pezzo di plastica" (o qualcosa di simile), il quale non mostra alcun segno di bruciatura (ma forse meglio sarebbe dire "consunzione": con ciò intendendosi il disturbo derivato all'oggetto - qualunque cosa fosse - dall'impatto con le microparticelle che costituivano il residuo dello scarico del reattore di discesa del LM) e si caratterizza per il suo intenso color "blu".
La NASA, ancora una volta purtroppo, non ha speso una parola su questo curioso (e non spiegabile, almeno da noi) particolare...MareKromiumGen 15, 2008

Spherule_Apollo11.jpgA "Glass Spherule" from the Moon63 visiteCaption NASA:"How did this spherule come to be on the Moon? When a meteorite strikes the Moon, the energy of the impact melts some of the splattering rock, a fraction of which might cool into tiny glass beads. Many of these glass beads were present in lunar soil samples returned to Earth by the Apollo missions.
Pictured above is one such glass spherule that measures only a quarter of a millimeter across. This spherule is particularly interesting because it has been victim to an even smaller impact.
A miniature crater is visible on the upper left, surrounded by a fragmented area caused by the shockwaves of the small impact.
By dating many of these impacts, astronomers can estimate the history of cratering on our Moon".MareKromiumMag 20, 2007
