Apollo 14 astronaut on the Moon
Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell walking on the Moon and studying a map during the Apollo 14 moon landings. The gravity on the Moon is around a sixth of that on earth, making even small efforts result in large movements. Apollo 14, the third manned lunar landing mission, launched on January 31 1971

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history during the Apollo 14 moon landings. Here, we see astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, adorned in his space suit, bravely walking on the Moon's surface while studying a map. The lunar landscape stretches out before him, with its unique characteristics and vastness. The image showcases the challenges faced by astronauts on the Moon due to its significantly lower gravity compared to Earth. Even small efforts result in large movements, as demonstrated by Mitchell's bouncing steps across the lunar terrain. Apollo 14 was an important mission within the Apollo program and marked NASA's third successful manned lunar landing. Launched on January 31st, 1971, it paved the way for further exploration of our celestial neighbor. This monochrome photograph not only highlights Mitchell's extraordinary feat but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in pushing boundaries beyond our planet's confines. It symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery through space exploration. As we gaze upon this historical image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's incredible achievements in space flight throughout the 20th century. It is a powerful reminder that there is no limit to what can be accomplished when science meets ambition and courage.
