Aaaaarrgh.......what went wrong ??????????
the only way i could get to this posting was to search
for " Spaceflight image of the week" on google.co.uk and look for an older
link that still worked, then click on a 'filed under Spaceflight picture of the week' link

"This image show the lunar module pilot of Apollo 15 standing by the central station of the Apollo lunar surface experiments package (ALSEP) in this artist's concept of the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The two ALSEP components directly in the front of the central station are the solar wind experiment and the heat flow experiment. This artist's concept was excerpted from "On the Moon with Apollo 15: A guidebook to Hadley Rille and the Apennine mountains," by Gene Simmons."
