APOLLO 11 AS 11-40-5873.jpgAS 11-40-5873 (HR) - Men on the Moon...216 visiteUn'immagine unica e bellissima, a nostro avviso. Troppo bella per farci sopra commenti e speculazioni...

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6780 HR-1.jpgAS 12-46-6780 - Alan Bean, TV camera and deep foot-prints (HR)128 visiteFrame from Pete's 8 o'clock pan. Rightward of 6779. A good picture of Alan Bean, who is still photographing the plus-Y footpad with the TV camera in the background. Notice the line of footprints that Pete Conrad made when he came over from the location of the 4 o'clock pan. This photo gives an impresssion of the way the ground was swept by the engine exhaust.
This is particularly evident - perhaps because of lighting - along a line from the engine bell (off-image to the left) through the probe at the left edge to the lower right corner. (...) . Scan courtesy NASA Johnson".

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6783 HR.jpgAS 12-46-6783 - Alan Bean, RTG pack and LM (HR)107 visiteDown-Sun photograph of Alan Bean, who has just removed the RTG package from the SEQ Bay. We can see the "saddlebag" he is wearing at his left hip. The saddlebag material resembles the Teflon cloth used for the Sample Collection Bags (SCBs) used on Apollos 15, 16 and 17. Note that the transmitted light in the shadow of the saddlebag has a reddish-brown color. We can see the boom on which the RTG package rode as it was pulled out of the SEQ bay. We can also see the pulleys that were operated with the tapes. The SEQ bay door that covered the right-hand 2/3rds is folded up out of the way. At the left side of the bay, we can see the vertically hinged portion of the door pulled back out of the way. Note that the SEQ bay is not an integral part of the LM structure but, rather, hangs on the outside. Below the SEQ bay, we can see a shield which protects the landing radar (mounted on the bottom of the Descent Stage) from heat radiating from the engine bell.

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6785 HR-1.jpgAS 12-46-6785 - Alan Bean, RTG pack, LM and...the Blue Flare! (HR)124 visiteAlan Bean has placed the RTG package on the ground. Note the cooling fins on the RTG. Note the pull rings on the edge closest to Al. These pull rings are used to release "pip pins" with which some pieces of equipment are attached to the RTG pallet. The light-colored piece of gear that is attached to the part of the RTG pallet that is on top in this picture is the SIDE (Suprathermal Ion Detection Experiment). Note the deployment rail and pulleys extending out from the SEQ bay above the upper ends of the lanyards. The distinctive ring-shaped top of the fuel cask can be seen behind the left-hand SEQ bay door. The landing radar is under the SEQ Bay directly beneath the partition separating the 2 ALSEP compartments. The shield that protects the radar from descent engine exhaust is farther to the right.

Cerchiatura Rossa: una Lucina Blu che ci ricorda, davvero molto da vicino, la Blue Flare che apparve in alcuni (storici) frames Apollo 14. Siamo in attesa di ricevere il frame originale e non compresso per verificare un pò meglio ma, già da adesso, ci sentiamo di poter dire che quello Star-like Object non sembra un photo-artifact. E se non lo fosse, allora dovremmo chiederci "chi" o "che cosa" sta osservando quello che stanno facendo i Ragazzi dell'Intrepid...

APOLLO 12 AS 12-46-6793 HR-1.jpgAS 12-46-6793 - The "Larger Mound" (HR)106 visiteOriginal caption:"At about 116:55:53 MT, Pete Conrad took this down-Sun of the larger of the two mounds near the ALSEP deployment site.
We can see in Pete's shadow that he is using a UHT to carry the SIDE subpallet".

APOLLO 12 AS 12-49-7286.jpgAS 12-49-7286 - Working at Halo81 visite133:25:41 MT - Al is hammering a double core tube at a geology stop near Halo Crater. He has driven in all of the lower section and most of the upper by this time. The crater beyond the core tube is not Halo. Note that Al is using the flat of the hammer. Because of the stiffness of the suit, it is difficult to control the swing and, by using the flat, he is more certain of actually hitting the top of the extension handle. Al is wearing a "saddlebag" on his left hip and, beyond it, we can see part of the Hand Tool Carrier or HTC. We can see good detail of Al's camera handle and trigger which, unbeknownst to the crew, has started to come loose.

APOLLO 12 AS 12-49-7320.jpgAS 12-49-7320 - In the Dust...54 visite133:45:09 MT - This may be an up-Sun "after" of the sample that went in sample bag 14D. It shows some detail on the HTC and shows the accumulation of dust on Pete's (Conrad) hoses.

APOLLO 14 AS 14 64-9140.jpgAS 14-64-9140 - Mitchell and the Modularized Equipment Transporter (MET)113 visiteUna nota di "colore": a noi non risulta che l'Astronauta Mitchell si sia mai calato all'interno di un qualche cratere o di un fosso, così come non c'è menzione di una sua "caduta" sulla superficie della Luna. Eppure...
Eppure guardate attentamente la sua tuta, diremmo dall'altezza delle ginocchia in giù: essa è diventata grigia, a causa di una traccia netta e definita di polvere.
Già, l'appiccicosissima ed assai fastidiosa (oltre che dall'odore strano ed impossibile da eliminare) "Moon Dust" ricopre, praticamente per intero, la parte inferiore delle gambe di Mitchell. Dove si è "calato" il nostro Amico Astronauta per ridursi in quello stato?!?

APOLLO 14 AS 14 66-9230 HR.jpgAS 14-66-9230 - Lights from Cone Crater? (HR)120 visiteOriginal caption:"113:52:32 MT. Ed took this photo of Al out the right-hand, LMP window. Al is shading his eyes, probably looking up toward Cone Crater. Note the red stripe on the top of Al's helmet. This and similar stripes on his arms and legs help distinguish him from Ed, who has no stripes".
Nota: anche quando guardano in una direzione dell'orizzonte verso la quale c'è il Sole, è fenomeno raro - se non rarissimo... - che gli Astronauti si "schermino" gli occhi con la mano, così come sta facendo Shepard in questo frame ed il motivo è nel fatto che la visiera dell'elmetto spaziale è di per sè dotata di un rivestimento protettivo che abbatte radicalmente la luce del Sole - un Sole che, sulla Luna - ergo senza il filtro dell'atmosfera - "...shines more than 100 suns..." - parole dell'Astronauta Jack Schmitt - Apollo 17 ).
E' ovvio che possiamo sbagliarci e che la nostra è solo una speculazione, ma la nostra impressione è che Alan non stia schermandosi gli occhi come faremmo noi sulla Terra mentre guardiamo nella medesima direzione del Sole: Alan sta guardando qualcosa di particolare che è nella direzione di Cone Crater e la cui piena visione gli è ostacolata dai raggi del Sole.
Qualcosa che lo spinge a compiere un'azione che, sulla Luna, non è naturale.
Che abbia intravisto la Blue Flare?
