Happy Birthday Jules Verne
Title Happy Birthday Jules Verne
Explanation One hundred seventy-five years ago (on February 8th), Jules Verne [ http://JV.Gilead.org.il/FAQ/index.html ] was born [ http://www.phys.uu.nl/~gdevries/verne/certificate.html ] in Nantes, France. Inspired by [ http://www.phys.uu.nl/~gdevries/verne/verne.html ] a lifelong fascination with machines, Verne wrote [ http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/JulesVerne/works.html ] visionary works about "Extraordinary Voyages" including such terrestrial travels as Around the World in 80 Days [ http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/tdm80j/ ], Journey to the Centre of the Earth [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021025.html ], and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea [ http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/ VerTwen.html ]. In 1865 he published the story of three adventurers who undertook a journey From the Earth to the Moon [ http://vesuvius.jsc.nasa.gov/er/seh/index1.htm ]. Verne's characters rode a "projectile-vehicle" [ http://www.nasm.edu/galleries/gal113/ julesverne.jpg ] fired from a huge cannon constructed in Florida, USA. Does that sound vaguely familiar? A century later, the Saturn V rocket [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010525.html ] and NASA's Apollo program [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/Apollomon/ Apollo.html ] finally turned this work of fiction into fact, propelling adventuresome [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4214/ cover.html ] trios on what was perhaps Verne's most extraordinary voyage. This dramatic view [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/ap11ann/ kippsphotos/apollo.html ] shows the moonbound Apollo 11 space-vehicle riding top a Saturn V rocket as it blasts skyward. Launched from a spaceport [ http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/index.html ] in Florida, the Apollo 11 crew [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/ap11ann/ biographies.htm ] traveled to the moon and back again in 1969, making humanity's first landing on the lunar surface [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/ pao/History/alsj/ ].

Title Apollo 10 photograph shows Sea of Tranquility near Apollo Landing Site 2
Description This near vertical photograph taken from the Apollo 10 Command and Service Modules shows features typical of the Sea of Tranquility near Apollo Landing Site 2. The proposed landing area for Apollo 11 (Lunar Landing Site 2) is a relatively smooth maria area in the upper right quadrant of the photographed area. The prominent linear feature at left is Hypatia Rille (called "U.S. 1" by the Apollo 10 crew). The prominent crater centered in Hypatia Rille at top left is Moltke AC (code name "Chuck Hole"). Moltke, the prominent crater to the right of Hypatia Rille, is centered near 24.2 degrees east longitude, and 0.6 degrees south latitude.

Description The first direct exposure to lunar material for Crew Reception personnel probably happened late Friday, July 25, 1969. Terry Slezak (displaying moon dust on his left hand fingers), Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) photographic technician, was removing film magazines from the first of two containers when the incident occurred. As he removed the plastic seal from Magazine S, one of the 70mm magazines taken during Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity (EVA), it was apparent that the exterior of the cassette displayed traces of a black powdery substance. Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong reported during the mission that he had retrieved a 70mm cassette which had dropped to the lunar surface.
