Eugene Cernan Two lunar scenes: 1) The Lunar Rover parked near Tracy's Rock visited during EVA 2 13 December 1972 Vintage chromogenic print on resin-coated Kodak paper, 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), [NASA AS17-140-21494], with A KODAK PAPER watermarks on the verso 2) Harrison Schmitt taking 500mm photographs, station 6, EVA 2 13 December 1972 Vintage chromogenic print on resin-coated Kodak paper, 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), NASA AS17-146-22294, with THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK watermarks and NASA Kennedy Space Center caption on the verso Footnotes: Station 6 was located at the base of the North Massif near a huge split rock, which had rolled down the side of the steep North Massif in a 1,500-foot long furrow before breaking into pieces. The boulder was so big that the astronauts could see it from lunar orbit and named it Tracy's Rock for Cernan's daughter. In the first photograph, the astronauts' LM Challenger can be seen just above the rock as a distant speck sitting at the right edge of the lighter area. In the second photograph, Cernan holds the 500mm lens Hasselblad in his hand while leaning on the boulder for stability in order to take telephoto photographs. The Lunar Rover is in the foreground.
