拍品專文

Borman took the photographs during Lovell and Anders’ sleep period looking southeast with the 250mm telephoto lens.

“Tsiolkovsky is a large, 200-km crater on the far Moon’s side which was first photographed by the Soviet probe Luna 3 on 7 October 1959. In the poor imagery of the time, its dark, mare-like interior made it stand out from the other craters that pepper the farside. The triumphant Soviets, in the manner of all explorers, promptly and appropriately named it after the Polish-Russian pioneer of spaceflight theory, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935). A dominant, W-shaped central peak of light colored highland material rising out of the dark material makes this crater particularly distinctive and striking” (from the Apollo 15 Flight Journal at 083:16:51).
