Summary[edit]

Description
English: Panorama view of Apollo 17 lunar surface photos for Station 1 at the Taurus-Littrow landing site taken during the first moonwalk of the mission by Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan and lunar module pilot Harrison (Jack) Schmitt. Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt is holding the rake and the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) can be seen on the left side of the image. The panorama was built by combining Apollo 17 images starting with frame AS17-134-20408 through end frame AS17-134-20431. The panoramic images received minimal retouching by NASA imagery specialists, including the removal of lens flares that were problematic in stitching together the individual frames and blacking out the sky to the lunar horizon. These adjustments were made based on observations of the Moon walkers who reported that there are no stars visible in the sky due to the bright lunar surface reflection of the Sun. Date: December 11, 1972
Date Taken on 11 December 1972
