Dr. Harrison Schmitt, the Apollo 17 astronaut, kindly gave his comments for this TC 3D-image of the Apollo 17 landing site.
-----------------------------
Thank you so much for allowing me an advance viewing of the image captured by Terrian Camera on Kaguya.
By zooming in, one clearly can see the light fingers of the regolith avalanche deposit from the South Massif（figure A); the dark ejecta blanket of Shorty Crater (figure B), the site of the orange pyroclastic glass deposit I discovered (figure C) ; the light albedo spot of the Challenger landing point (figure D); and many geologic features studied and sampled by Gene Cernan and me on Apollo 17(figure E). Thank you for the memories!
Best regards,
Harrison (figure F)
