COSMIC MESSAGE
Eugene Shoemaker's passion was astrogeology. He helped invent the field and trained Apollo astronauts, though a health issue kept him from going to the Moon himself. Here he is at Meteor Crater, Arizona, a place that helped him understand impact craters on other worlds. His work shaped our understanding of planetary surfaces.
