Schmitt working near the lunar jeep at Station 4 (Shorty Crater) during the second extravehicular exit Apollo 17 (EVA - 2). 12/12/1972. A view of the lunarscape at Station 4 (Shorty Crater) showing scientist - astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt working at the lunar roving vehicle (LRV) during the second Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA - 2) at the Taurus - Littrow landing site. This is the area where Schmitt first spotted the orange soil. Orange soil is clearly visible on either side of the rover in this picture. Shorty Crater is to the right.

PIX4564944: Globular cluster M22 in Sagittarius - Globular cluster M22 in Sagittarius - M22 (NGC 6656) is one of the closest globular clusters of the Sun, located about 10 400 years ago - light. Age 12 billion years, it is the third most brilliant globular cluster among the 150 known in the lactee pathway. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). M22 (NGC 6656) is one of the nearest globular clusters to our sun (distance 10 400 light years). Its stars stretch some 200 light years across and its collective brightness ranks it third among the 150 known Milky Way globulars. It is outshined visually only by the two bright southern globulars, Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae. M22 is considered an old globular cluster having its beginning some 12 billion years ago not long after the formation of the Milky Way / Bridgeman Images
