Title: Astronaut Charles Duke stands at rock adjacent to "House Rock"
Description:
Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., Apollo 16 lunar module pilot, stands at a
rock adjacent (south) to the huge "House Rock" (barely out of view at
right edge). Note shadow at extreme right center where the two
moon-exploring crewmen of the mission sampled what they referred to as the
"eastwest split of House Rock" or the open space between this rock and
"House Rock". Duke has a sample bag in his hand, and a lunar surface rake
leans against the large boulder.
