Note du spécialiste
Schmitt borrowed Cernan’s camera to take “tourist”pictures near the LM. He captured the Earth above Cernan and the high-gain antenna of the Rover (pointed up at Earth to send the TV signal). The South Massif is in the background.
The result is one of the rare Apollo photographs showing the reunion of man standing on another celestial body with his Home Planet in the background.
169:39:17 Cernan: (To Schmitt) Yeah. This is the one you need anyway. That’s (the) color (camera). (Pause) Why don’t you see if you can grab a couple (of tourist pictures)? Yeah, right here.
169:39:34 Schmitt: Boy, are you dirty.
169:39:34 Cernan: I know it.
169:39:38 Schmitt: Let’s see. I don’t know whether I can get you (with the Earth).
169:39:41 Cernan: Yeah, you can.
