  1. Newly declassified UFO files include audio from the Apollo 12 mission. Astronauts described unexplained lights following their craft through deep space in 1969. Someone submitted this to IsItCap asking if it was kept quiet for 50 years.

  2. A magnesium-rich basalt retrieved by the Apollo 12 mission from the Moon. brightly coloured pyroxene and olivine surround grey plagioclase in cross-polars.

    This photo was taken in 2003 from a travelling collection of thin sections sponsored by NASA.

  7. Die ersten Worte von Pete Conrad auf dem Mond waren übrigens „Whoopee! That may have been a small one for Neil, but it's a long one for me!“

    Später erzählte er, dass er mit der italienischen Journalistin Oriana Fallaci um 500$ wettete. Er wollte beweisen, dass die NASA die Kommentare der Astronauten nicht vorformuliert hat. Fallaci war überzeugt, dass Neil Armstrongs Worte für ihn geschrieben und nicht seine eigenen waren.

  8. The #ModularEquipmentTransporter (MET) was a two-wheeled, hand-pulled vehicle that was used as an equipment hauling device on traverses across the lunar surface. Designed after #Apollo12 astronauts #PeteConrad and Alan Bean had difficulties lugging their equipment significant

  15. 55 years ago #OTD the #Apollo12 crew experienced a #SolarEclipse by the giant Earth shortly before arriving back on the latter: here is a lesser known image of the atmospheric arc with the Sun at the limb, see skyweek.wordpress.com/2019/11/ for many more, a video and a full transcript - and nasa.gov/history/eclipses-near for other eclipses in the solar system.

  16. Nice article by Sandhya Ramesh on PRL.

    "Ahmedabad moon lab is waiting for Chandrayaan-4 samples. It has already studied Apollo rocks"

    Rare images of Apollo mission moon rock samples included.

  17. #Heute vor 57 Jahren landete mit #Surveyor 3 eine #Mondsonde der @NASA auf dem #Mond. Sie sollte den Boden untersuchen, um die #Apollo -Missionen vorzubereiten.

    Und?

    1969 landete die Crew von #Apollo12 ca 200m entfernt. Sie machten Fotos, montierten die Kamera und Bodenschaufel ab und brachten sie auf die Erde zurück. Es ist das einzige Mal, dass #Astronauten ein Raumfahrzeug auf dem Mond besuchten. Davon kennen wir die langfristigen Auswirkungen der Mondumgebung auf Materialien.

  18. It’s sometimes amusing to listen to some of the air to ground transmission on the #Apollo flights. A lot of the chatter is the #astronauts talking about #poo, actually #p00, with no hint of adolescent smirking, like this gem on #Apollo12:
    109:46:48 Conrad: And, Houston, whenever you’re ready, we’re ready to give you P00 and Data.
    P00 was the quiescent state of the #Guidance #Computer where it was ready to receive instructions and data either from the #DSKY #keyboard or #Houston.

  23. I was reading about the most recent tipped over lunar landers, and I heard about the Surveyor program. Somehow I had forgotten/never known that NASA had landed unmanned landers on the moon. It is super impressive that they suceeded. But the craziest achievement is that Apollo 12 landed at the same site, within 600ft, of Surveyor 3. Here is an article about how they located the Surveyor 3 site to make the rendezvous possible. news.arizona.edu/story/uarizon

  27. The first words spoken on the moon on the second landing were from Conrad, who was shorter than Neil Armstrong. He said, "Whoopie! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me."

    10 things you might not know about the second moon landing:

  28. I have this replica switch on my desk…

    November 14, 1969, 37 sec into the launch of #Apollo12 the Saturn V was hit by lightning.

    A single calm suggestion to try setting "SCE to AUX" from flight controller John Aaron will save the whole mission.

    Greatest call in the history of flight control.

  29. #OnThisDay Birth Anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru (1889) - first Prime Minister of India.

    Birth Anniversary of Frederick Banting (1891) - co-discoverer of #Insulin and its therapeutic potential. His birthday is celebrated as #WorldDiabetesDay.

    NASA launched #Apollo12, the second crewed mission to the surface of the Moon (1969).

  30. It’s a battleship. And so much more. This is the USS Hornet (CV-12). She was launched in 1943 and decommissioned in 1970. In addition to her service during WW2, she was also the prime recovery ship for Apollo 11 & 12 missions, picking up the first people to have walked on the moon.

    Now she is moored in the former naval air station in #Alameda and is home to a museum and a venue for special events.
