53 年前的 1972 年 12 月,阿波羅 17 號宇航員尤金-塞爾南和哈里森-施密特在月球上花費了大約 75 個小時探索金牛座-利特洛山谷,而同事羅納德-埃文斯則在頭頂上空盤旋。這張來自另一個世界的快照是塞爾南和施密特在月球谷底漫遊時拍攝的。圖中施密特停在矮人環形山東南邊緣的月球車旁邊。 這個位置靠近地質學家施密特發現橙色月球土壤的地方。阿波羅 17 號 "登月隊返回時帶回了 110 公斤的岩石和土壤樣本,比從其他登月地點帶回的都要多。目前,塞爾南和施密特是最後兩位登上月球的人。
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.
