0-APOLLO 15-launch_wide.jpgThe Launch of Apollo 15227 visiteThe "ORIGINAL" Apollo Time-Table (from Apollo 13)
APOLLO 13. March, 1970. Land in Fra Mauro formation of flat highlands, stay about 22 hours. Collect soil and rock from an old area relatively untouched by what many believed were ancient floods or volcanoes.
APOLLO 14. July, 1970. Land in Censorinus Crater area for a stay of about 22 hours. Investigate craters, possibly carved in Moon's surface by meteors.
APOLLO 15. November, 1970. Land in Littrow area of volcano-like projections, remain about 22 hours. Attempt a pinpoint landing on an exact, pre-selected target.
APOLLO 16. March, 1971. Descend to Crater Copernicus, remaining for about 70 hours. Extract from crater and high-rising column within formation rocks believed to be from far below the lunar surface.
APOLLO 17. Late in 1971. Land near rugged highland crater Tycho for stay of about 70 hours. Test first moon "rover" vehicle.
APOLLO 18. Early 1972. Land in Marius Hills, remain about 70 hours. Collect soil and rock samples from volcanic-like domes and valleys between.
APOLLO 19. Middle or late 1972. Land deep in Schroeter's Valley, with about 70 hours on the surface. Attempt a descent into a deep crater to determine cause of mysterious "red flashes" seen there by astronomers.
APOLLO 20. Late 1972 or early 1973. Land near the Hyginus Rill, a long, major canyon, for stay of about 70 hours. Investigate canyon for possible lunar core material.
This timeline had been altered slightly even before the Apollo 13 mission, when in January, 1970, Apollo 20 was cancelled in order to reserve the last production Saturn V for use in launching the planned Skylab orbiting laboratory a few years later. This change shifted the planned Apollo 18 and 19 lunar missions to 1974 to follow Skylab, but further budget-cutting in late 1970 also resulted in the cancellation of Apollo 18 and 19.

06-Oceanus Procellarum.jpgOceanus Procellarum68 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Northward oblique view of the Marius Hills and Oceanus Procellarun on the Moon taken by LO 2. The hills are named after the 41 Km diameter crater Marius, at the upper right at 11,8N, 50,8 W and are thought to be volcanic domes, plugs and cones. Note the wrinkle ridges which also stretch across the image (Lunar Orbiter 2, frame M-213)".

15-Bond&Mayer Craters.jpgBond-Mayer Crater89 visiteAn image of craters Bond - after an American Astronomer - (large feature marked by two smaller crater on left of image) and Mayer - after a Czech Astronomer (large isloated crater on lower right) located in Northern Central Region of the Moon, near Mare Frigoris. The image is a composite of 5 AMIE images acquired on 5/6 February 2006, from altitudes ranging between 2685 (bottom of the composite) and 2709 Km (top). Each individual snapshot, taken with the AMIE clear filter, is a square of side about 135 Km. The whole composite covers approximately 270 Km. The outer rim of the original Bond Crater has been eroded and reshaped, and now it basically consists of an outline of hills and mounts.
The interior floor is relatively flat in comparison with the rim region, although there are sections of rough terrain near the northern rim. In the centre of the walled plain is a rille that runs toward East.
To the southeast of this formation is Bond-B, a circular, simple bowl-shaped crater.

27-Zucchius Crater.jpgZucchius Crater82 visiteThis image of the central peaks of crater Zucchius was obtained by AMIE on 14 January 2006 from a distance of about 753 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution of 68 metres per pixel.
The imaged area is centred at a latitude of 61.3 South and longitude 50.8 West. Zucchius is a prominent lunar impact crater located near the southwest limb. It is 66 kilometres in diameter, but due to SMART-1's proximity to the surface, the AMIE field of view covers only the central 35 kilometres of the crater in this image.
Because of its location, the crater appears oblong-shaped due to foreshortening. It lies just to the south-southwest of the Segner crater, and northeast of the much larger Bailly walled-plain. To the southeast is the Bettinus crater, a formation only slightly larger than Zucchius.
Zucchius formed in the Copernican era, a period in the lunar planetary history that goes from 1200 million years ago to present times. Another example of craters from this period are Copernicus (about 800 milion years old) and Tycho (100 million years old). Craters from the Copernican era show characteristic ejecta ray patterns - as craters age, ejecta rays darken due to weathering by the flowing solar wind.
The hills near the centre of the image are the central peaks of the crater, features that form in large craters on the Moon. This type of feature is formed by the impact of a small asteroid onto the lunar surface. The surface is molten and, similarly to when a drop of water falls into a full cup of coffee, the hit surface bounces back and solidifies into the central peak.
The Zucchius crater is named after the Italian Mathematician and astronomer Niccolo Zucchi (1586-1670).

30-Tycho-S7.jpgTycho Crater from Surveyor 7 Lander132 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Surveyor 7 mosaic of the rim area of Tycho from the highland region, north of the Crater. Surveyor 7 landed 10 January 1969 at 40.88 S, 11.45 W and took about 21.000 photos over a month, some of which were used to make up this mosaic. The block in the foreground is about half a meter across and the crater is about 1,5 meters in diameter. The hills on the horizon are about 13 Km away (Surveyor 7, 68-H-40)".

31-Gassendi.jpgGassendi Crater61 visiteCaption ESA originale:"This mosaic of 2 images, taken by the advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft, shows the inside of crater Gassendi. AMIE obtained these images on 13 January 2006, 1' apart from each other, from a distance of about 1220 Km(top frame) and 1196 Km (bottom frame) from the surface, with a ground resolution of 110 and 108 mt per pixel, respectively.
The area shown in the top image is centred at a Latitude of 16,2 South and Longitude 40,2 West, while the bottom images is centred at a Latitude of 17,9 South and Longitude 40,2 West.
Gassendi is an impact feature located on the Near Side of the Moon, at the Northern Edge of Mare Humorum. The crater is actually much larger than the field of view visible in this image. The hills on the lower right of the mosaic are the central peak of the crater, with a height of roughly 1,2 Km. The crater almost fully visible on the top is called Gassendi A".

APOLLO 11 AS 11-40-5961 HR.jpgAS 11-40-5961 - The LM and the Hills in the distance (1) HR252 visiteUna delle immagini pi chiare e, al tempo stesso, pi controverse dell'intera Serie Apollo.
L'ombra dell'astronauta in primo piano a Sn e, ancora in primo piano, a Dx, l'ombra di un'asta. Il LM ad una certa distanza (+ o - 60mt?) e poi, molto lontane, all'orizzonte, le due colline che abbiamo visto fotografate davvero tantissime volte.
A Sn del LM vediamo alcune delle attrezzature a noi familiari.
Molto pi indietro si intravede la "colonna" a cui accennavamo parlando del frame precedente (ma occorre un ingrandimento di almeno 25x per poterla distinguere con relativa chiarezza).
Passiamo al frame successivo...

APOLLO 11 AS 11-40-5961.jpgAS 11-40-5961 - The LM and the Hills in the distance (2)185 visite...Si tratta della stessa immagine di cui sopra, in versione "unedited", con colori originali e non ad A.R. Da un certo punto di vista ci sembra un'immagine migliore della precedente, nonostante l'esistenza e la riscontrabilit di una sensibile sfuocatura (sul tema della "sfuocatura" di alcune - diremmo molte... - immagini Apollo parleremo pi diffusamente in seguito, allorch esamineremo alcuni interessanti frames in b/n).
Passiamo al frame successivo...

APOLLO 11 AS 11-40-5962 HR mostruosamente falsa!!!!.jpgAS 11-40-5962 - Where did the Hills go? (1) HR237 visite...L'astronauta adesso decisamente avanzato: l'ombra dell'asta che aveva alla sua Dx sparita.
Il LM sensibilmente pi grande.
Le attrezzature poste sulla Sn del LM si vedono molto bene.
Il problema sono le due colline in lontananza: dove sono andate a finire?
Se sovrapponete le immagini avrete l'impressione (forse veritiera e forse no) di un "taglio netto". Una vera e propria amputazione del fondale eseguita con precisione chirurgica.
Ma a che scopo, ci siamo domandati? Beh, gli scopi, a ben vedere, per fare un "lavoro" del genere ci sono e sono tantissimi: si pu andare dal semplice tentativo (riuscito) di occultare qualcosa che NON si poteva (e non si pu tuttora) far vedere alle "masse", alla solita teoria (trita, ritrita ed amplificata sino all'inversimile) secondo cui alcune fotografie (NON tutte, si badi!) della Serie Apollo, per motivi che ignoriamo, sono state "scattate in studio", sulla Terra. Insomma, quando chi dovrebbe parlare, non lo fa, ogni ipotesi diventa (purtroppo) ammissibile.

APOLLO 11 AS 11-40-5962 mostruosamente falsa!!!!!.jpgAS 11-40-5962 - Where did the Hills go? (2)185 visiteIn ogni caso, se guardate l'immagine in oggetto con estrema attenzione ed usando un semplice programmino per l'elaborazione di fotografie digitali (tipo "Paint-Shop Pro" o altro simile), noterete che il frame molto danneggiato (ci sono graffi, zone pi chiare, zone pi scure e, via-via, tanti altri difetti).
Questo forse segno che il frame stato manipolato oppure che esso , semplicemente, vecchio?
Ognuno pensi, anche a questo riguardo, quello che preferisce; la spiegazione che stata data a noi per questo curioso "effetto taglio" la solita e ne abbiamo gi parlato in precedenza. Circa i "danni" al frame, dobbiamo dire che quasi tutti i frame originali della Serie Apollo presentano pesanti "segni del tempo".
Voi cosa ne pensate?
