Summary edit

Description

Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 153/MM - Lunar orbit.
This photo was used in Figure 4-44 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:

Northwest-looking, low-oblique view of the crater le Monnier approximately 190 km north of the Apollo 17 landing site on the east margin of Mare Serenitatis. The Russian spacecraft Lunokhod 2, an Earth-controlled roving vehicle, landed in le Monnier January 15, 1973. The marelike flat floor of the 70-km-diameter crater has the low albedo characteristic of the surface material bordering Mare Serenitatis; some of the dark surface material bordering eastern Mare Serenitatis can be seen in the upper left corner of the photograph. The crater Littrow D is in the right foreground; between it and le Monnier, Rima Littrow II extends from the middle right to the lower left.
