[:ja]宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したスーパームーンです。2021年4月28日、人類初の月面着陸に成功したアポロ11号の乗組員の1人、マイケル・コリンズさんが90歳で亡くなりました。
1969年7月16日、宇宙飛行士3人を乗せたアポロ11号が打ち上げられました。打ち上げから4日後、月着陸船「イーグル」が切り離されて月面への着陸に成功。ニール・アームストロング船長、バズ・オルドリン宇宙飛行士がが人類で初めて月面に降り立つ間、マイケル・コリンズ宇宙飛行士は「司令船」に1人で残り、2人の支援にあたりました。「司令船」は直径4メートル足らずの円すい形で、コリンズさんは月を周回しながら2人の戻りを待ちました。
ご冥福をお祈りいたします。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1279: R.I.P., Mr. Collins
Astronaut on board ISS captured the Super Moon. Mr. Michael Collins, 90, had been battling cancer for some time, and the news of his death became public on April 28, 2021.
Astronaut Michael Collins was one of the 3 crewmembers in the Apollo-11 mission that landed on the Moon in July 1969. President Joe Biden issued a statement mourning Mr. Collins’ death as follows. “Many remember him as the astronaut who was by himself, orbiting the moon as Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong walked on the lunar surface,” President Joe Biden said in a White House statement. “He may not have received equal glory, but he was an equal partner, reminding our nation about the importance of collaboration in service of great goals.”
Rest in peace, Mr. Collins.
