Explanation: Score three points for NASA.With time running out late in Apollo 15's mission to the Moon in 1971,Astronaut David Scott prepared to split the uprights and bring about yetanother dramatic end-of-the-mission victory for NASA. Scott used a speciallunar football designed for the rugged games held on the Moon. R1-D1, a predecessor to R2-D2, cheered from the sideline. Happy April Fools' Day from the folks atAPOD. In reality, Astronaut Scott placed a drill that measured how temperaturechanged with lunar depth. The foreground device actually detected high-energyparticles that escaped from the Sun.

为NASA得三分！
1971年在阿波罗15号登月任务即将结束之际，图中的宇航员戴维德·斯科特正准备踢定位球得分，为NASA带来另一场戏剧性胜利来结束阿波罗15号任务，斯科特用的是一种特别为崎岖月面所定制的月球足球。R1-D1在场边为R2-D2欢呼。
哈哈，上面的都是开玩笑的。
其实这张照片里，宇航员斯科特正在安放一个钻头，用来测量月面温度随深度的变化。前景的设备实际上是被用来探测从太阳上逃逸的高能粒子。
