America and the Sea of Serenity
Fifty years ago, Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan took this stereo view of the Moon from the Lunar Module Challenger. The image shows the Sea of Serenity, a large, dark, basaltic plain on the Moon's near side. Cernan and Harrison Schmitt were orbiting just before descending to land in the Taurus-Littrow Valley.
