介绍（中）	从1968年开始，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）官员就非常强调通过摄影手段制作准确的月球表面地图的重要性。为了做到这一点，他们使用了广泛的技术先进的摄像设备，其中大部分设计用于远程操作人员。这张全景照片是在1972年4月16日发射的阿波罗16号任务中用这种设备拍摄的事实证明，美国宇航局对摄影的承诺不仅在科学上有用，而且深受广大观众的欢迎。在很大程度上，这种流行反映了20世纪60年代末和70年代初人们对与太空探索有关的一切事物的广泛兴趣，但这些照片本身就很吸引人。尽管我们可能会把它们称为风景，但这些照片与地球的照片完全不同，没有显示出传统的尺度标记，如树木或建筑物。也没有一条地平线可以用来判断山丘和火山口的相对大小，或者用来确定前景和背景等图像组织的传统元素。因为它们描绘了一个全新的主题，这些图片可以与19世纪早期的摄影实验相比较，其结果往往是前所未有的，让观众感到惊讶。
介绍（英）	Beginning in 1968, NASA officials put great stress on the importance of creating an accurate atlas of the lunar surface by means of photography. To do so, they used extensive and technologically advanced camera equipment, most of which was designed to work with a remote human operator. This panoramic photograph was made with such equipment during the Apollo 16 mission, which launched on April 16, 1972. NASA's commitment to photography proved popular with general audiences as well as scientifically useful. In large part, that popularity reflects the widespread interest in everything connected to space exploration during the late 1960s and early 1970s, but the photographs are fascinating in their own right. Although we may be tempted to call them landscapes, the photographs are utterly unlike those of earth, exhibiting none of the traditional markers of scale, such as trees or buildings. Nor is there a horizon line from which to judge the relative size of the hills and craters or from which to determine such traditional elements of pictorial organization as foreground and background. Because they depict an entirely new subject matter, the pictures can be compared to early-nineteenth-century photographic experiments, the results of which were often unprecedented and astonishing to their viewers.
