[Apollo 16] CHARLES DUKE BESIDE THE ROVER, ADMIRING THE MOONSCAPE FROM STATION 4 ON STONE MOUNTAIN John Young, 16-27 April 1972, EVA 2 Printed 1972. Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper [NASA image AS16-107-17446]. Numbered 'NASA AS16-107-17446' in red in the top margin, with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the reverse (issued by NASA Manned Spacecraft Centre, Houston, Texas). 25,4 x 20,3 cm. (10 x 8 in.) Historical context Looking at the Moon in awe. For their second EVA, John Young and Charles Duke drove 4 km south to Station 4, a site near the Cinco Craters, high on the slopes of Stone Mountain. At 152 metres (499 feet) above the valley floor, this fantastic viewpoint marked the highest elevation reached above the LM of any Apollo mission. As they gazed out over the spectacular moonscape, the awe in their voices was unmistakable. Footnotes: From the mission transcript (photograph taken at T+144:16:27 GET): 144:16:27 Duke: Wow! What a place! What a view, isn't it, John? 144:16:30 Young: It's absolutely unreal! 144:16:34 Duke: We've really come up here, Tony. It's just spectacular. Gosh, I have never seen... All I can say is 'spectacular,' and I know y'all are sick of that word, but my vocabulary is so limited. 144:16:50 England (Mission Control): We're darn near speechless down here... 144:16:51 Duke: Can you guys see (on the TV) how really spectacular the view is? 144:16:59 England: We sure can. To Duke's left, bright light rays from South Ray Crater streak across the background, while Palmetto Crater is visible above the rake at the rear of the Lunar Rover. In the foreground, footprints and Rover tracks serve as a stark reminder of human presence in this remote, untouched landscape. The gnomon, used as a photographic reference to establish scale, local vertical Sun angle, and lunar colour, is deployed prominently in the Centre foreground. The angular, scattered rocks emphasize the rugged and uncharted nature of this breathtaking terrain.
