Another oldie from the archives, taken back in August 2019. It was one of those "Should I take the camera out, or will it look stupid?" moments, but the life-sized astronaut figure (gold-coloured, of course) was a subject too special to not take a few snapshots, especially together with the huge standee with a photo of George Clooney and his Omega Speedmaster in the jeweller's entrance. Obviously, this was an Omega promotion event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of 1969's Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. The Speedmaster was the watch NASA had officially certified for all its manned space flights. But it was only Buzz Aldrich who wore the Speedmaster on the first-ever moonwalk. Neil Armstrong had left his watch on the Eagle, as a backup because the mission timer onboard the Eagle had malfunctioned.
The Speedmaster also played an important part in the dramatic Apollo 13 mission ("Houston, we have a problem!") where it saved the lives of the crew of three by accurately timing the ignition that would bring the stricken ship safely back to Earth. An oxygen tank had exploded which resulted in an immediate mission call-off. To save energy for the now necessary manually-stirred trip home to Earth, the electricity onboard had been switched off, mission timer included. Jack Swigert operated his Speedmaster to time the precise ignition (14 seconds sharp) while the other two astronauts, Jim Lowell and Fred Haise, navigated the space shuttle that, on top of it all, had also lost directions, toward Earth. Successfully.
But did you know that there is another Moon watch that a NASA astronaut had worn on the Moon? David Scott, a member of the Apollo 15 crew, wore a Bulova chronograph during his 1971 moonwalk. The crystal of his Speedmaster had popped off, so he wore his Bulova which he had taken to the mission as a backup. In 2021, Bulova reissued that watch under the name "Lunar Pilot".

This week is the 50th anniversary of Apollo 15, which launched in 1971 from pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center carrying astronauts David Scott, Alfred Worden, and James Irwin. The mission objectives were to explore the Hadley-Apennine region of the Moon, set up and activate lunar surface scientific experiments, make engineering evaluations of new Apollo equipment, conduct lunar orbital experiments, and photographic tasks. This was the first of three missions to employ use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle – which designed and developed at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center – to enhance exploration and geological investigations on the Moon. In a series of special events beginning in July 2019, NASA began marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Program -- the historic effort that sent the first U.S. astronauts into orbit around the Moon in 1968, and landed a dozen astronauts on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972. Today, Marshall is playing a vital role in the Artemis program by developing the Space Launch System, the backbone of NASA’s exploration plans and the only rocket capable of sending humans to the Moon and Mars. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA’s remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological, and scientific aspects of NASA’s activities in aeronautics and space.

Editor's note: NASA's 18th annual "Great Moonbuggy Race" will be run on April 1-2 in Huntsville, Alabama. As we get ready to race, we hope to showcase some of our teams. Meet Ezra and Karine from the Huntsville Center for Technology team.
Ezra Logreira, left, and Karine Wittenborg, moonbuggy racers from the Huntsville Center for Technology, are geared up for the 18th annual NASA Great Moonbuggy Race, set for April 1-2 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. More than 80 high school, college and university teams from four continents are expected to take part in the race, organized each year by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. The race challenges students to design, build and race lightweight, human-powered buggies that address many of the same engineering challenges overcome by Apollo-era lunar rover developers at the Marshall Center in the late 1960s. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle on the moon, driven by astronauts David Scott and James Irwin during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971.

The Moon's Mare Imbrium and surroundings taken with SkyWatcher Maksutov 180/2.700mm telescope and Astrolumina alccd5l-iic camera (mosaic of 12). Saturation and contrast are increased to highlight the mineral composition of the moon's surface.
Today in 1971, Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin became the first humans to drive a car on the lunar surface, the Lunar Roving Vehicle. The lightweight, electric car greatly increased the range of mobility and productivity on the scientific traverses for astronauts. The LRV weighed 462 pounds (77 pounds on the Moon) and could carry two suited astronauts, their gear and cameras, and several hundred pounds of bagged lunar samples. The LRV was designed and developed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and built by Boeing. Here, David Scott waits in the LRV for the return trip to the Lunar Module, Falcon, with rocks and soil collected near the Hadley-Apennine landing site. Today, Marshall is playing a vital role in the Artemis program by developing the Space Launch System, the backbone of NASA's exploration plans and the only rocket capable of sending humans to the Moon and Mars.

Imaged during the evening of the 30/05/20 this view shows the large lunar crater Archimedes (diameter 81km) which forms a nice triangle with crater Aristillus (diameter 55km) and crater Autolycus (diameter 39km). The crater Timocharis is just emerging from the lunar terminator giving a ghost-like appearance!
Marked by a red circle is the landing site of Apollo 15.
On 30th July 1971 the Falcon craft touched down on Hadley Plain near the sinuous Hadley Rille which is easily visible in this image. All in the shadow of the lunar Apennine mountains.

Aristarchus, named after the Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos, is a prominent lunar impact crater that lies in the northwest part of the Moon's near side. It is considered the brightest of the large formations on the lunar surface, with an albedo nearly double that of most lunar features.

Since it was half moon and planets were ideally positioned today, I decided to take out the big boy and have some fun with planetary imaging. I took this mosaic of a portion of the moon that I find very interesting. This circular chain of mountains surrounds Mare Imbrium. The mountains to the Rights are called the Appenins, while the ones on the left are the Alps, of course. 😊 There is even the Mont Blanc! Apollo 15 also landed in the area (very close to the tip of the Appenins chain in 1971.
Today marks the 45th anniversary of the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle as part of the Apollo 15 lunar landing mission.
The LRV was a two-person, four-wheeled all electric vehicle measuring ten feet two inches long, forty-four inches high with a seven-foot wheelbase. The finished rover weighed in at less than 450 pounds and was comprised of large mesh wheels, antenna appendages, tool caddies, and cameras. In developing the rover, engineers overcame a series of technical challenges including the lack of a lunar atmosphere, extreme variations in surface temperature, reduced gravity, and the many unknowns surrounding lunar soil and topography.
Over its lifetime, the LRV carried six astronauts over fifty-six miles and provided the astronauts of Apollo 15, 16 and 17 greater operational mobility, increasing scientific returns several times over.

The rover is 17mm top to bottom.
This was among the items in a jewelry box of my father who was an engineer at China Lake when NASA was using the desert base for practice and testing of rover technology.
GM makes the popular Chevy Bolt and was (in)famous for the EV-1 but the history of the lunar rover reminds us that they were involved with electric vehicles long before they made earthbound ones.
The mountain chains that surround the Imbrium Basin are endlessly fascinating, for their variety, beauty and now, human history. I focus in this photo on the mountains that define the Eastern and Southeastern bounds of the Imbrium Basin.
The chain of high, sharp peaks that arc upwards from the lower left are the Montes Apenninus. These formed immediately when a proto-planet gouged the enormous Imbrium Basin into the face of the Moon. Rising up to 14,000 feet, the mountains form an arcing chain that gradually bends from east to northeast, ending at Promontorium Fresnel. Here, there is a gap where the Mare Imbrium to the west joins the Mare Serenitatis to the east. At the north end of this gap in the upper right of this photo, lie the first peaks of another mountain chain, the Montes Caucasus (perhaps a feature of an upcoming image).
Two craters are prominent in the upper left, within the Imbrium basin. Along the upper margin, left of center is Autolycus crater. On the left border, spilling out of the frame, is the much larger Archimedes crater. A field of rubble (ejecta from the impacts that created the craters) and many small craterlets connects the two craters. A larger similar field extends southward along the left side from Archimedes. If you look closely, a fissure, or rima, extends from Archimedes back towards the Apennines. This is Rima Archimedes.
The area just inside the arc of the Montes Apenninus shows many other rimae. Southeast of Rima Archimedes in center left, the broad Rima Bradley can be seen running diagonally from southwest to the northeast . It ends in a smooth region where lava filled the low valleys of the Imbrium Basin. this area is known as Palus Putredinis (gross, right?). If you extend the trace of Rima Bradley toward the upper right, you see another series of cracks that run from Palus Putredinis to the area inside Promontorum Fresnel and the gap connecting Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis. These are the Rimae Fresnel.
The real star of the rima show here lies in a small gap between the outer and inner ridges of the Montes Apenninus. Lying just above center, Rima Hadley, aka Hadley Rille, snakes northward out of the Montes Apenninus, through a narrow valley, past a small crater, and then abruptly turns westward towards Palus Putredinis at the foot of Mons Hadley. Many of us can remember those days in July and August of 1971 when Apollo 15 landed in the small flat between the 14,000 ft. peak of Mons Hadley and the 1000 ft. chasm at the bend of Hadley Rille. This was the first mission where the crew used the lunar rover to explore their surroundings. Quite a mission!
The lower right corner of this image is filled with a region of low hills and hummocks known as the Montes Haemus. This is an area where debris of the Imbrium impact flowed out over the surrounding terrain, and filled space between the newborn Montes Apenninus and the old basin rim of Mare Serenitatis. Many such areas surround the Imbrium Basin, mainly to the south, southeast and east, suggesting that the proto-planet impacted from the northwest.

The first lunar rover (a.k.a. “Moon Buggy”) landed on the Moon aboard the Apollo 15 lunar module on July 30, 1971.
The Moon Buggy was about the size of a Lincoln Continental, but had to fold up smaller than a Volkswagen to fit inside the Apollo spacecraft. On the moon, it only weighs 76 pounds. But on earth it weighed 460 pounds!
The wheels on the Moon Buggy were made of woven piano wires. Each wheel was independently powered by its own electric motor.

It's always fun to try to pick out Apollo landing sites from Lunar images. One of the easiest to spot is that of Apollo 15 which landed on the Moon in 1971. Its easy to pinpoint as they landed close to the feature Rima Hadley, or Hadley Rille. I've marked the landing site with an 'X'

Originally intended to fly on Apollo 15, LM-9 was replaced with an Extended Lunar Module when the Lunar Rover was added to the mission.
It is only one of three remaining numbered LM's designed for mission usage.
Running diagonally across this image of our moon are the Montes Apenninus (Apennine Mountains) which contain Mons Huygens the highest mountain on the moon (elevation about eighteen thousand feet or four and one half kilometers).
“Okay Houston, the Falcon is on the plain at Hadley.”
Toward the upper right and just below a break in the mountain chain is Mons Hadley and the Hadley Rille. The Apollo 15 manned landing on the moon happened at a spot just above the ending curve in this rille, between the rille and Mons Hadley itself (and its prominent, triangular-shaped shadow).
Off to the upper left center from the Hadley plain is the large crater Archimedes. This fifty-two mile wide feature is a flooded-plain type crater that has had its interior covered by a relatively flat and smooth lava flow that is only broken by a number of small craterlets (visible in the full-sized image).
This photo was taken on the evening of December 29, 2014 with a Celestron 9.25” EdgeHD telescope and a Sony NEX-5R digital camera (1/15 second, ISO 200, e.f.l. 5340mm at f/23).
Image processing was done with PixInsight, AutoStakkert! 2, RegiStax 6, Photoshop and Lightroom CC 2014.

You probably know the "moon face" that appears to the naked eye from bright and dark surface areas of the full moon. But a telescopic view of Mare Imbrium shows another face on Earth's natural satellite!
This image was captured using the 10" f/16 refractor (4 m focal length) of the Volkssternwarte München with a Canon M50 MkII DSLM camera in prime focus. I recorded a 4K/25 fps video of about 3.5 minutes length, and stacked the 5% best images. The night was quite clear and seeing was, at least every now and then, quite good. The moon being high up in the sky also helped a lot.
The image material was good enough to not only deliver a crisp and detailed image (you can clearly see the Hadley Rille, where Apollo 15 landed. If you look very closely, you can even guess parts of the central rille of Vallis Alpes, which is less then one kilometer wide!), but also to increase color saturation and produce a selenochromatic image, or "mineral moon". The colors represent the varying composition of the lunar surface, where reddish tones are iron-rich, and blueish tones are titanium-rich.
I also tried marking some landmarks on the moon. Feel free to add, or correct mine if I made a mistake! (edit: this seems to work only in the browser version, not in the Android Flickr app.)

I really like this image, so I tried my best to pull out some more detail. (see previous photo to compare with original)
The photo was taken at the Henry Ford Museum's Appoloo exhibit, in March 2022. This is the cast of Neil Armstrong's hands. Each astronaut on the Apollo 15 flight had a cast of their hands made to ensure the proper fit of their gloves. Dexterity in a thick pressurized spaceship glove is challenging. If the gloves are too large, the astronauts have a difficult time sensing when they are touching something. If the gloves are too small, the gloves will press painfully against the fingertips and cause the astronauts to lose fingernails. Casts of all three astronaut's hands were made to make perfectly fitted gloves. Because Michael Collins wore his wedding ring when his cast was made (not pictured here) , he had to wear his ring when her traveled on the mission on Appollo 11.
On this date in 1971, one day after landing Apollo astronauts Dave Scott and James Irwin explored the surface of the moon in the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), the first of its kind on the lunar surface.
This photo from the June 11, 1971 issue of Life Magazine shows the astronauts -- from left, Jim Irwin, Al Worden and Dave Scott -- posing with their color-coded Corvettes and the 1-G LRV trainer. As with the stylized birds on the Apollo 15 patch, the cars are red, white, and dark blue.
In a 2005 e-mail, Dave Scott notes "As I recall, this particular photo of the corvettes was taken out by the launch pad. The corvettes were stylized to essentially show the flag and set a bit of unit pride... primarily to let the troops know that we were about and paying attention to all they were doing; e.g., at almost any level of the launch complex one could look down and recognize the crew's cars; we went to the pad often for various spacecraft activities as well as to just say hello to the folks putting the Saturn V and its payload together."

The labeled version of the Last Quarter Moon for May 2012. The official Third Quarter occured at 5:47pm ET on Saturday May 12, 2012. This photo was taken in the early morning hours of Sunday May 13, 2012 shortly after moonrise on the east coast. Conditions were high thin clouds from the leading edge of a storm system. Once again, a good phase for feature identification along the terminator with Plato and Aristullus in the north, Bode, Pallas, Murchison, Reaumur, Gylden, Herschel, Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus, and Arzachel around the mid-latitudes. The most detail is by far on the southern third with Thebit, Purbach, Regiomontanus, Walter, Orontius, Miller, Nasireddin, Huggins, Saussure, Pictet, Tycho, Maginus, Clavius, Gruemberger, Moretus, and Newton all clearly visible in nice detail.

On July 31, 1971, the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) made its lunar debut. The LRV, developed my Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, would travel just over 17 miles, logging three hours and two minutes of driving time. The LRV greatly expanded the range of the Apollo astronauts’ lunar surface activities and experiments. This photograph, taken by commander David R. Scott, shows lunar module pilot James B. Irwin working at the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the first Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site.
