A treasure trove of objects that were supposed to have been left behind after the first moon landing have turned up in the closet of Neil Armstrong, the first man to step onto the lunar surface, the Smithsonian Institution has said.

史密森尼學會表示,在尼爾.阿姆斯壯的衣櫃中發現了一系列本應在第一次登月任務後留在月球上的貴重物品,阿姆斯壯為第一個登陸月球表面的人。

Armstrong died in August 2012 and his wife, Carol, found the items from the 1969 lunar landing as she was cleaning out one of his home closets in Cincinnati, Allan Needell, a space history curator at the National Air and Space Museum, wrote in a recent blog.

美國國家航空暨太空博物館的太空歷史策展人艾倫.尼道爾近來在部落格寫道,阿姆斯壯於2012年8月逝世,當其遺孀卡蘿清理在辛辛那提的家中衣櫃時,找到了1969年登月任務的物品。

Among the objects are a camera that was mounted in the window of the Eagle lunar module to record the landing and two waist tethers. Armstrong used one of the tethers to support his feet during his rest period on the moon, Needell said.

在物品中有一具裝在老鷹號登月艇窗戶,拍攝登月著陸狀況的攝影機,以及兩條腰間繩索。尼道爾說,阿姆斯壯曾用其中一條在餘下的登月過程來固定雙足。

The items were intended to be left behind on the moon but were instead brought back. Needell said that as far as he knew Armstrong had never discussed them and no one had seen them in the 45 years since he returned to Earth.

物品本應刻意留在月球上但卻被帶了回來。尼道爾說,就他所知阿姆斯壯從未提起這些東西,且自他返回地球後,45年來從沒有人見過它們。
