A robot spaceship circling the moon has snapped the sharpest photographs of the tracks and debris left by Apollo astronauts in visits from 1969 to 1972.
一艘繞月遙控飛船日前拍攝到了一組清晰的照片，為我們呈現了1969至1972年間阿波羅號宇航員們在月球上的活動軌跡及一些設備殘骸。

Nasa's lunar reconnaissance orbiter got close enough to see the spacemen's path when they walked on the moon. The photos also show ruts left by a roving vehicle and even backpacks pitched out of the lunar landers before the US visitors returned to Earth.
NASA的人造月球探測衛星運行到了一個距月球表面相當近的距離，足矣看清當年宇航員在月球上的行進軌跡。照片上還清楚地顯示了探險車在月球表面留下的車轍，以及美宇航員返航前從著陸艙中丟棄的背包。

The images were taken two weeks ago from 13 to 15 miles above the moon's surface and show the landing sites for Apollo 12, 14 and 17. They offer a sharper look that more clearly distinguishes man-made objects from rocks. The closest images are of the Apollo 17 site from 1972.
照片是兩個禮拜前在距月球表面13至15英里高度時拍攝的，拍攝到的內容還包括阿波羅12、14以及17號的著陸點。照片的清晰度足矣讓我們區分出其上是巖石還是人造物，距離最近的一張照片是阿波羅17號的著陸點（如圖），這也是迄今為止距此著陸點最近的一張照片。
