On the Moon, it is easy to remember where you parked. In December of 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon in the Taurus-Littrow valley, while colleague Ronald Evans orbited overhead. This sharp image was taken by Cernan as he and Schmitt roamed the valley floor. The image shows Schmitt on the left with the lunar rover at the edge of Shorty Crater, near the spot where geologist Schmitt discovered orange lunar soil. The Apollo 17 crew returned with 110 kilograms of rock and soil samples, more than was returned from any of the other lunar landing sites. Now forty three years later, Cernan and Schmitt are still the last to walk on the Moon. APOD Editor to Speak: Saturday, August 8 at Keweenaw Science & Engineering Festival

在月球上,記住你停泊的位置非常簡單。1972年12月,阿波羅17號的宇航員尤金·塞爾南(Eugene Cernan)和哈里森·施密特(Harrison Schmitt)在月球的金牛座-李特羅谷(Taurus-Littrow valley)待了約75小時,而同事羅納德·埃文斯(Ronald Evans)則在上空繞行。這張清晰的照片是塞爾南拍攝的,顯示施密特在左側,月球探測車位於肖提隕石坑(Shorty Crater)邊緣,正是施密特發現橙色月球土壤的地方。阿波羅17號的成員共帶回了110千克的岩石和土壤樣本,這個數量比其他月球登陸地點帶回的都要多。如今,43年後,塞爾南和施密特仍然是最後兩位在月球上行走的人。
