Captured during the final lunar expedition, the Apollo 17 mission (1972), this image shows astronaut-geologist Harrison H. Schmitt examining a massive boulder at Station 6 near the North Massif in the Taurus–Littrow Valley. The mission marked the last time humans walked on the Moon
Schmitt was unique. He wasn’t a fighter pilot, he was a geologist, Schmitt played a key role in studying lunar formations and collecting samples that reshaped our understanding of the Moon’s volcanic history.(Courtesy to r/ArchiveOfHumanity )
Somehow seeing a rock that size on the moon next to someone with that pitch dark horizon against a grey landscape gives a sense of cosmic horror.
Not to be pedantic, but, that is the Lunar Rover and not the LEM.
The Apollo missions to the moon are still amazing considering the technology of the day.
Any place to get this pic in better quality? This image has perfect space on my wall 🙂 greatest humanity achievement
It’s a shame only a single scientist was on the moon back then. I hope next time there will be more
This picture is in color.
Is that a Rock or an Asteroid?
I wish I could be as happy about anything as Jack Schmitt was about finding orange soil.
