| Piú viste - Apollo 14: A New Success After The "Successful Failure"! |
APOLLO 14 AS 14 66-9317.jpgAS 14-66-9317 - Moon Panorama100 visiteAncora un panorama sovraesposto dell'orizzonte Lunare.
Questa fotografia, in sè, non direbbe nulla di particolarmente rilevante se non fosse per la (curiosa, secondo noi) sfuocatura dell'orizzonte. La Luna non ha nè atmosfera, nè aria e, dunque, la anche la visione "in campo lungo" (a differenza di quanto accade sulla Terra o su Marte) dovrebbe essere sempre estremamente nitida. Invece non è così (e guardate bene anche, per esempio, l'ultimo frame in b/n della collezione Apollo 14 per renderVi conto).

APOLLO 14 AS 14 64-9110.jpgAS 14-64-9110 - Up-Sun100 visiteOriginal caption:"(...) up-Sun. Note that there aren't nearly as many boulders in this direction as in others. This photo shows that they are not at the highest point in the area and that the ground to the East of their present location is higher".
Nota: un commento abbastanza ambiguo che non ci aiuta per nulla a capire DOVE sia questo Cone Crater.
Il commento NASA è comunque da valutare in rapporto agli altri commenti ed all'intero panorama che, per motivi di spazio, non possiamo pubblicare per intero ma che Vi invitiamo ad andare a guardare direttamente sul Sito NASA dedicato alla Missione Apollo 14 (Lunar Surface Journal - Image Gallery).

APOLLO 14 AS 14 66-9258 HR.jpgAS 14-66-9258 - Sliding's effect (HR)100 visiteOriginal caption:"114:53:38 MT. Al took this picture of the North footpad during his initial LM inspection. Note the pile of dirt pushed up by final spacecraft motions (the so-called "sliding").

APOLLO 14 AS 14 67-9369.jpgAS 14-67-9369 - Cold Cathode Ion Gauge and Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment100 visiteOriginal caption:"117:20:27 MT. This photo shows the Cold Cathode Ion Gauge (CCIG) and the Suprathermal Ion Detection Experiment (SIDE). The SIDE is the large box while the CCIG is the smaller instrument next to it. There is a great deal of dirt on the north face of the SIDE.
Because this face receives little direct sunlight, the dirt will have little effect on the internal temperature of the instrument.
Dirt on the East or West faces and on the top would increase the amount of sunlight that the instrument would absorb during the course of a Lunar Day and, therefore, would lead to a higher than optimal internal temperature".

APOLLO 14 AS 14 66-9338 HR.jpgAS 14-66-9338 - Flag and tracks (HR)99 visiteEd Mitchell took this splendid picture after he and Shepard jettisoned the PLSSs in preparation for launch. Of particular interest are the tracks made by the crew and the MET during the traverse to the ALSEP deployment site and during the return to the LM. The ALSEP Central Station is about 180mt from the LM. Note the excursions the crew made around the rimless crater in the foreground and the large depression in the middle distance that they traversed in both directions. Without the visual clues provided by the tracks, the depression is not easy to pick out in this down-Sun photo. Note that the flag is now pointing on an azimuth of about 335 and undoubtedly moved from it prior pointing of about 120 as a result of the cabin depressurization done for the jettison. Journal Contributor Jim Scotti notes that we "can see the impact 'crater' and roll marks made by the PLSS farthest from the LM. It rolled on it's side and you can see a fair bit of detail in the hoses and straps on the righthand side of it".

APOLLO 14 AS 14-68-9440.jpgAS 14-68-9440 - Profile of a crater89 visiteUn cratere visto di profilo oppure un rilievo dalle forme davvero strane. Da un certo punto di vista questa immagine ci ha fatto pensare all'Endurance Crater di Marte, allorchè veniva ripreso da una certa distanza.
Molto suggestivo.

APOLLO 14 AS 14 67-9371 HR.jpgAS 14-67-9371 - Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment - HR80 visiteOriginal caption:"117:21:31 MT. Close-up of the Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE).
This is one of the few ALSEP documentation photos taken during all of Apollo that shows a "level bubble" with any clarity. It is a large bubble, being about half the diameter of the dome that contains it.
Note that there is some dirt on the top of the SIDE, although not covering a large percentage of the surface".
