Title: View of "Shadow Rock" taken during third extravehicular activity
Description:
Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., Apollo 16 lunar module pilot, exposed this
view of "Shadow Rock" with his 70mm Hasselblad camera during the mission's
third and final extravehicular activity (EVA-3), on April 23, 1972. This
particular stop was referenced as Station #13. The scoop, a geological
hand tool, leans against the rock and helps give an idea of the size.
Station #13 is a little southeast of the North Ray crater at the Descartes
area.
