The curving lunar horizon looking north east over the floor of Crater Mendeleev on the Moon's far side, taken during the Apollo 17 mission, 7-19 December 1972.

Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper, RED NUMBERED NASA AS17-151-23178, on 'A KODAK® PAPER' watermarked stock, 25.5 x 20.5 cm (10 x 8 in) [paper size, inc. margins]. Printed in 1972.



This original vintage NASA photograph, showing the curving lunar horizon looking north east over the floor of Crater Mendeleev, was taken by one of the crew of Apollo 17 (astronauts Harrison Schmitt, Eugene Cernan or Ronald Evans) during their third revolution of the Moon, in December 1972.

Mendeleev is a large lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, as seen from the Earth. The southern rim of this walled plain just crosses the lunar equator. Intruding into the eastern rim of Mendeleev is the crater Schuster. Nearly on the opposite side, the smaller Hartmann intrudes into west-southwestern rim. The crater is named after the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev.

This is a Hasselblad image from film magazine 151. The photograph carries the watermark 'A KODAK® PAPER' on the verso, and is red numbered, which provides certainty that this print was produced in the era specified.
