  • Four "forgotten" Hasselblads of the Sculptured hills, photographed one orbit before landing; AS17-147-22464, 22465, 22466, and 22467. The last one of those four (AS17-147-22467) was included on pages 292-293 of the article EXPLORING TAURUS-LITTROW by Harrison H. Schmitt (NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, september 1973). Research: Danny Caes

  • A survey of surface photographs made by Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt (Apollo 17, december 1972)
  • The first photographs were made at sun's elevation 16 degrees, the last ones at sun's elevation 38 degrees
  • Research: Danny Caes (- DannyCaes May 1, 2014)
