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.
一艘绕月遥控飞船日前拍摄到了一组清晰的照片，为我们呈现了1969至1972年间阿波罗号宇航员们在月球上的活动轨迹及一些设备残骸。

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的人造月球探测卫星运行到了一个距月球表面相当近的距离，足矣看清当年宇航员在月球上的行进轨迹。照片上还清楚地显示了探险车在月球表面留下的车辙，以及美宇航员返航前从着陆舱中丢弃的背包。

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.
照片是两个礼拜前在距月球表面13至15英里高度时拍摄的，拍摄到的内容还包括阿波罗12、14以及17号的着陆点。照片的清晰度足矣让我们区分出其上是岩石还是人造物，距离最近的一张照片是阿波罗17号的着陆点（如图），这也是迄今为止距此着陆点最近的一张照片。
