“A front view of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module (LM), which reflects a circular flare caused by the brilliant sun, as seen by the two moon-exploring crew men of the Apollo 14 lunar landing mission during their first extravehicular activity (EVA). The unusual ball of light was said by the astronauts to have a jewel-like appearance. At the extreme left the lower slope of Cone Crater can be seen. Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander; and Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot; descended in the LM, while astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot; remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.”
Paraphrased from ALSJ commentary:
“Up-Sun from Al's 12 o'clock pan taken near the LM at the start of EVA-1. To the far left, we can see the upward slope of the ridge of Cone Crater. The opened MESA is clearly visible to the left of the ladder, with the LRRR visible in the west footpad (with the ladder). Shepard would later carry it out to the ALSEP deployment site.”
