Description

Apollo 14 Hasselblad image from film magazine 64/LL - EVA-2. Sample 14321 is more commonly known as Big Bertha.
Part of this photograph is Figure 3-52 of the Apollo 14 Preliminary Science Report (SP-272), which has the following caption:

Sample 14321 before collection; also shown in approximate lunar orientation reconstructed in the LRL using oblique lighting.

The text of the Report states:

Sample 14321. Sample 14321 is the large football-size rock collected during the second EVA near station C1. An area approximately 1 by 1.5 m around the rock was mapped using stereophotographs (AS14-64-9128 and AS14-64-9129) taken with the Hasselblad Electric data camera just before the rock was collected. The rock was situated on the hummocky ejecta blanket of Cone Crater. Other rocks ranging in size from the limit of resolution of the Hasselblad photography to large boulder size are common in the area (figs. 3-52 and 3-53); rock fragments ranging from the resolution of the photography to 5 cm in diameter are common in the immediate vicinity of the sample. This rock was the largest within the area mapped; the next largest rock is approximately 20 cm in the longest dimension. A well-developed fillet approximately 2 cm deep is present against the visible sides of rock 14321.
