NASA photo: "Astronaut at Split Rock." Postcard PC-A6 published by the Hansen, Planetarium, Salt Lake City, Utah (ca. 1973)

“Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt stands next to a huge fragmented boulder that had rolled almost a mile down the side of the North Massif. The device he holds is a gnomon with a color chart and measuring scale for calibrating photographed samples. Beyond are small rounded knolls.”
