[漢羅] 月球塗粉 kah 電火布

是按怎月球面頂遮爾厚塗粉？ Tī 地球， 石頭經過風 kah 水 ê 風化作用了後，會產生沙塗。 Tī 月球久長 ê 歷史內底一直去予微隕石砲擊，kā 本來 ê 岩石表面挵甲產生一重 月球粉塗抑是表岩屑仔。 毋閣 tùi 阿波羅太空人 kah in ê 設備來講，坱埃四界軁，閣細粒，又閣著一直來，實在是有夠麻煩。 1972 年 12 月，tī 月球表面 ê 阿波羅 17 號 太空人 Harrison Schmitt kah Eugene Cernan 需要拍拚 修理探測車 ê 其中一个塗帕仔，才有法度 kā 車輪噴出來坱蓬蓬 ê 塗粉 擋 leh，袂去影響著 in kah 狗齒仔。 這張相片看會著去予塗粉崁牢 ê 探測車車輪 kah 塗帕仔。 太空人用備用地圖、鋏仔、kah 殕色 ê 電火布 kā 塗帕仔補起來，實在是真巧 ê 做法。

[English] Lunar Dust and Duct Tape

Why is the Moon so dusty? On Earth, rocks are weathered by wind and water, creating soil and sand. On the Moon, the long history of micrometeorite bombardment has blasted away at the rocky surface creating a layer of powdery lunar soil or regolith. For the Apollo astronauts and their equipment, the pervasive, fine, gritty dust was definitely a problem. On the lunar surface in December 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan needed to repair one of their rover's fenders in an effort to keep the rooster tails of dust away from themselves and their gear. This picture reveals the wheel and fender of their dust covered rover along with the ingenious application of spare maps, clamps, and a grey strip of "duct tape".
