- Lot Description
Thomas Stafford (American, b. 1930) or Eugene Cernan (American, 1934-2017)
Three views of lunar landscapes in the Sea of Tranquility during the Lunar Module's closest approach to the future Apollo 11 landing site, Apollo 10, May 1969. Numbered 'NASA AS10-29-4299,' 'NASA AS10-29-4314,' and 'NASA AS10-29-4324,' (NASA MSC), respectively, in black on the recto u.r. margin. Vintage gelatin silver prints, image sizes to 7 1/4 x 7 3/8 in. (18.3 x 18.5 cm), unmatted.
Condition: Good.
N.B. ''Oh, we are low, We are close, babe,' Gene Cernan radioed to Earth. The landscape's finest details showed crystal clear in the Moon's airless atmosphere and Cernan felt practically on top of the boulders he saw below. 'We is down among 'em, Charlie,' he exulted to Charles Duke, the CapCom (Capsule Communicator) in Houston' (Reynolds, p. 128). The LM came to within 15.6 kilometers of the lunar surface. The large crater in the center of the last image is Moltke, located just before the Apollo 11 landing site which the LM couldn't visit. In this low-altitude oblique photograph, considerable debris can be seen on the slopes of the outer crater walls. The area surrounding Moltke is mottled and rough compared to the mare background. Directly behind Moltke and running linearly across the area is a trough, Rille Hypathia II; behind the rille, the highlands regions mark the southwestern edge of the Sea of Tranquility (NASA SP-246).
Estimate $400-600
