                          America and the Sea of Serenity   
            Gene Cernan, Apollo 17, NASA; Anaglyph by Patrick Vantuyne   
      
      Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and check out this stereo   
      view of another world. Fifty years ago the scene was recorded by Apollo   
      17 mission commander Eugene Cernan on December 11, 1972, one orbit   
      before descending to land on the Moon. The stereo anaglyph was   
      assembled from two photographs (AS17-147-22465, AS17-147-22466)   
      captured from his vantage point on board the Lunar Module Challenger as   
      he and Dr. Harrison Schmitt flew over Apollo 17's landing site in the   
      Taurus-Littrow Valley. The broad, sunlit face of the mountain dubbed   
      South Massif rises near the center of the frame, above the dark floor   
      of Taurus-Littrow to its left. Piloted by Ron Evans, the Command Module   
      America is visible in orbit in the foreground against the South   
      Massif's peak. Beyond the mountains, toward the lunar limb, lies the   
      Moon's Mare Serenitatis.
