How is tranquility? So much calm.

A peculiar panorama, from the Apollo 17 landing site in the Taurus-Litro valley, actually hit the chord with Apollo 17 geologist Harrison Schmidt, according to NASA. Schmitt noted that this is "one of the most spectacular natural scenes in the solar system." After seeing the glorious image (below), it is hard to disagree – though I will admit that I have not seen any natural scene in the solar system.

The 360-degree photo of Apollo 17's landing site is available on Facebook at NASA's Johnson Space Center, so you can rotate the moon, rock the moon, and then throw the moon away! (Actually, do not do that.)
A blind sky can make some conspiracy theorists cry "Fake!" but NASA's imagery experts deliberately darkened the moon horizon and removed some of the panorama lights to better reflect the observations of those who went there. The Moon's surface, they say, is so reflective that it makes it difficult to see the stars of space.
This is not the first time that NASA delivers foolish visuals from the surface of the moon, but it's a good reminder like each of our moon conquests, just two days is ashamed of the 50th anniversary of the actual placing of the human feet on the moon .
You can see the full album with amazing lunar surface images on NASA's Flickr page.
