Astronaut Harrison Schmitt walks alongside a moon buggy during the final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program in December 1972. While there are many historic images from the surface of the moon, Nemiroff says, "I like this one. It shows the moon surface, it shows some desolation, it shows the magnificence. And there's a human for scale, so people can identify." Schmitt and Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan, who took this picture, were the last astronauts to walk on the moon.
