50年前，也就是1972年4月20日，阿波罗16号的登月舱“猎户座”在月球近侧的笛卡尔高地中南部着陆。当宇航员肯·马丁利在卡斯珀这个友好的指挥和服务舱上空绕轨道飞行时，“猎户座”号把约翰·杨和查尔斯·杜克带到了月球表面。两人将在月球上待近三天。从第三次也是最后一次月球表面旅行即将结束时拍摄的图像（AS16-117-18814到AS16-117-18820）构建而成，这幅全景图将登月舱置于距离左侧的位置。他们的电动月球车在前景中，杜克正在操作相机，而杨将高增益通信天线对准天空，对准地球。庆祝活动：地球日

Fifty years ago, April 20, 1972, Apollo 16's lunar module Orion touched down on the Moon's near side in the south-central Descartes Highlands. While astronaut Ken Mattingly orbited overhead in Casper the friendly command and service module the Orion brought John Young and Charles Duke to the lunar surface. The pair would spend nearly three days on the Moon. Constructed from images (AS16-117-18814 to AS16-117-18820) taken near the end of their third and final surface excursion this panoramic view puts the lunar module in the distance toward the left. Their electric lunar roving vehicle in the foreground, Duke is operating the camera while Young aims the high gain communications antenna skyward, toward planet Earth. Celebrate: Earth Day
