Apollo 17: VIP Site Anaglyph

Explanation:
Get out your red/blue glasses and check out this stereo scene from Taurus-Littrow valley on the Moon! The color anaglyph features a detailed 3D view of Apollo 17's Lunar Rover in the foreground -- behind it lies the Lunar Module and distant lunar hills. Because the world was going to be able to watch the Lunar Module's ascent stage liftoff via the rover's TV camera, this parking place was also known as the VIP Site. In December of 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon, while colleague Ronald Evans orbited overhead. The crew returned with 110 kilograms of rock and soil samples, more than from any of the other lunar landing sites. Cernan and Schmitt are still the last to walk (or drive) on the Moon.
說明：
拿出你的紅/白眼鏡，好好瞧瞧這張來自月亮上陶拉斯－利特羅山谷的立體影像吧！ 這張彩色立體圖在前景詳盡的拍出了阿波羅17號月球探險車 --而在背後則是月艙以及遠處的月球山丘。 由於藉由探險車的錄影器，地球的民眾就得以看到月艙上升發射的階段，因此此停車處也被俗稱為VIP點。 在1972年的12月，阿波羅17號太空人Eugene Cernan以及Harrison Schmitt花了 大約75小時在月面上，同時間同梯太空人Ronald Evans在他們上方進行軌道航行 。 幾個成員帶回了110公斤的石頭以及土石樣本，數量比其他月球登錄點都還要多 。 Cernan以及Schmitt兩位依舊是最後兩位得以在月球上行走（或駕駛）的太空人。
