Discover the cosmos! Each day a differentimage or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a briefexplanation written by a professional astronomer. Astronaut Kicks Lunar Field Goal Image Credit: NASA, Apollo 15 Team Explanation: Score three points for NASA.With time running out late in Apollo 15's mission to the Moon in 1971,Astronaut David Scott prepared to split the uprights and bring about yetanother dramatic end-of-the-mission victory for NASA. Scott used a speciallunar football designed for the rugged games held on the Moon. R1-D1, a predecessor to R2-D2, cheered from the sideline. Happy April Fools' Day from the folks atAPOD. In reality, Astronaut Scott placed a drill that measured how temperaturechanged with lunar depth. The foreground device actually detected high-energyparticles that escaped from the Sun. 宇航員在月球上射門得分 為NASA得三分！ 1971年在阿波羅15號登月任務(wù)即將結(jié)束之際，圖中的宇航員戴維德·斯科特正準備踢定位球得分，為NASA帶來另一場戲劇性勝利來結(jié)束阿波羅15號任務(wù)，斯科特用的是一種特別為崎嶇月面所定制的月球足球。R1-D1在場邊為R2-D2歡呼。 哈哈，上面的都是開玩笑的。 其實這張照片里，宇航員斯科特正在安放一個鉆頭，用來測量月面溫度隨深度的變化。前景的設(shè)備實際上是被用來探測從太陽上逃逸的高能粒子。 近期文章： Astronomy Picture of the Day——日落時分的切倫科夫望遠鏡 |
