Just curious to know if the Apollo astronauts used 'regular' geology hammers on the Moon ?

Interesting article -- though, there were a lot of ways in which lunar EVA crew could supply a little light into shadows. In fact, the absolutely best way to light a shadow was to position yourself downsun of the shadow. Your white suit would reflect the light back into the shadow much better than anything else you had available, and would light up the scene fairly well.
This effect was very pronounced and visible during the initial portions of Apollo 11, 12, 14 and 15 EVAs, when the TV camera was located in darkness on the MESA and was viewing the shadowed area of the LM forward leg and ladder. The shadowed scene would brighten dramatically whenever a suited crewman would pass into or out of the sunlight, especially when that crewman was *not* directly visible in the scene. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
