Large color panoramic photograph, 40 x 8 inches, SIGNED by 7 Apollo astronauts including 5 Moonwalkers: "Richard Gordon / Apollo XII CMP; Alan Bean / Apollo 12 LMP; Edgar Mitchell / Apollo 14 LMP; John Young / Apollo 16 CDR; Charlie Duke / Apollo 16 LMP; Gene Cernan / Apollo XVII - CDR; Vance Brand / ASTP CMP."

A COLOR PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPH SIGNED BY SEVEN APOLLO ASTRONAUTS, FIVE OF WHICH WALKED ON THE MOON

Here, Apollo 16 Commander John Young is seen adjusting the high-gain antenna on the Lunar Rover. This image was taken by LMP Charlie Duke during the third and final EVA of the Apollo 16 mission. Signed by five Moonwalkers, the present image demonstrates the uncanny perception of flattened distance experienced by those on the Moon, an environment without an atmosphere.
