在1971年2月5日,阿波羅14號的登陸艙安塔瑞斯成功降落在月球上。太空人艾德·米契爾在最後的停留時間,透過窗戶拍攝了一系列月球表面的照片,這些照片被阿波羅月球表面日誌的編輯艾瑞克·瓊斯組成了一幅詳細的馬賽克圖片。這幅畫面看向西北方的弗拉毛羅高地,正是在阿波羅14號的宇航員完成了他們的第二次也是最後一次月球行走後所拍攝的。畫面前景中,明顯可見的是他們的模組設備運輸器,這是一種像人力車一樣的雙輪裝置,用於搬運工具和樣本。在畫面上方的中心位置,有一塊直徑1.5米的巨石,名叫海龜石。在海龜石下方的淺坑裡,可以看到一根白色的長柄採樣工具,這是米契爾用標槍的方式扔進去的。與米契爾一起在月球行走的艾倫·謝潑德,這位第一位進入太空的美國人,也用一根自製的六號鐵桿打了兩個高爾夫球。在米契爾的標槍下方,可以隱約看到一顆謝潑德的高爾夫球,像一個白點。
原文:
Apollo 14’s Lunar Module Antares landed on the Moon on February 5, 1971. Toward the end of the stay astronaut Ed Mitchell snapped a series of photos of the lunar surface while looking out a window, assembled into this detailed mosaic by Apollo Lunar Surface Journal editor Eric Jones. The view looks across the Fra Mauro highlands to the northwest of the landing site after the Apollo 14 astronauts had completed their second and final walk on the Moon. Prominent in the foreground is their Modular Equipment Transporter, a two-wheeled, rickshaw-like device used to carry tools and samples. Near the horizon at top center is a 1.5 meter wide boulder dubbed Turtle rock. In the shallow crater below Turtle rock is the long white handle of a sampling instrument, thrown there javelin-style by Mitchell. Mitchell’s fellow moonwalker and first American in space, Alan Shepard, also used a makeshift six iron to hit two golf balls. One of Shepard’s golf balls is just visible as a white spot below Mitchell’s javelin.
