五十三年前的1972年12月,太空人Eugene Cernan和Harrison Schmitt在月球上探險,他們花了大約75小時在雲雀谷(Taurus-Littrow valley)探索,而Ronald Evans則在月球上空繞圈。這是一張來自另一個世界的照片,是Cernan在他和Schmitt在月球山谷的地面上漫步時拍的。照片中可以看到Schmitt站在停放在Shorty Crater東南邊緣的月球車旁。這個地方正是地質學家Schmitt發現橙色月球土壤的地點。Apollo 17的隊員們帶回了110公斤的岩石和土壤樣本,這比其他月球登陸地點收集的還要多。至今,Cernan和Schmitt仍然是最後一批在月球上行走的人。
原文:
Fifty three years ago, in December of 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon exploring the Taurus-Littrow valley, while colleague Ronald Evans orbited overhead. This snapshot from another world was taken by Cernan as he and Schmitt roamed the lunar valley’s floor. The image shows Schmitt next to the lunar rover parked at the southeast rim of Shorty Crater. That location is 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. And for now, Cernan and Schmitt are the last to walk on the Moon.
