Apollo 17 Part II
Photo and Art Source: NASA
Here we are discussing Apollo 17 again. We left off talking about how a couple of the NASA official photographs seemed to show strange things like shadows running the wrong way and lights in the sky. Here are some more NASA photographs. As I said before, due to the large graphic content of these pages a fast connection is not only preferable but necessary.
This preflight artwork was prepared for NASA for Apollo 17. It was in error because among other things it showed the mountains from the Apollo 15 landing site. Certain areas in the drawing are oriented wrong and the lander would not have landed on the edge of a steep ridge. There are also other faults with the drawing.

South Massif Summit Pan
Portion of South Massif Summit from above. The area on top of the ridge, in the second photo resembles a ruin. Of course there is pixelization at these magnifications
EVA-2 LM Pan Again you can clearly see two lights in the middle of the picture but careful observation shows them to some sort of reflection.
Western part of the North Massif summit
Sculptured Hills peak on the east side of Wessex Cleft
Northern subsidiary peak of (West) Family Mountain
LRV Pan (Lunar Rover Vehicle) This photograph has writing on it but on such a miniature scale that it is not visible to the human eye. The photo below is a portion of the one above. It has been switched to the negative and enlarged considerably. The writing can be seen but it is still very hard to make out what it says.
Hannover and the Scarp on the North Massif
Lunar Rover Panning at Victory Crater Cluster.
Post EVA Window Pan In part III we will try and take a look at some of the movies that were shot by Apollo 17 personnel on the moon. |
