APOD3


This is a 3D picture of Apollo 17's lunar rover in the Taurus-Littrow moon valley. In the background is the lunar module. Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt were the two astronauts of Apollo 17's crew to walk on the moon. They spent about 75 hours there and are the most recent astronauts to walk on it. The rover has a camera on the front so that as the lunar module left the moon, the ascent could be broadcasted.
