明亮的阳光闪烁着长长的阴影,这是这张月球表面的照片。这张照片是54年前,1969年7月20日,由阿波罗11号宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗拍摄的,他是第一个在月球表面行走的人。图为这次任务的登月舱“鹰”号和身着宇航服的登月舱飞行员巴兹·奥尔德林。奥尔德林正在展开一张长长的箔片,也被称为太阳风成分实验。面对太阳,箔片捕获了在太阳风中向外流动的粒子,捕获了来自太阳本身的物质样本。与月球岩石和月球土壤样本一起,太阳风收集器被带回地球实验室进行分析。

Bright sunlight glints as long dark shadows mark this image of the surface of the Moon. It was taken fifty-four years ago, July 20, 1969, by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first to walk on the lunar surface. Pictured is the mission's lunar module, the Eagle, and spacesuited lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin is unfurling a long sheet of foil also known as the Solar Wind Composition Experiment. Exposed facing the Sun, the foil trapped particles streaming outward in the solar wind, catching a sample of material from the Sun itself. Along with moon rocks and lunar soil samples, the solar wind collector was returned for analysis in earthbound laboratories.
