Lunar Litter
Things left on the moon
Stereoscopy (Full Moon View, 1898) covered with miniature objects that represent the items left behind on the moon during various spaceflight missions: in addition to space probes, lunar vehicles, and other technical equipment, these include, for example, a bible, used diapers, soap, tools, golf balls, and cameras. See also NASA’s “Catalogue of Manmade Material on the Moon.” To date, 190 t of material have been left behind during the missions.
