Taurus-Littrow Valley

Taurus-Littrow Valley is a significant location on the Moon, situated in the eastern part of the lunar surface. It gained prominence during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972, which was NASA's final manned lunar landing. Astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt explored this valley, collecting samples and conducting experiments. The area is of particular interest due to its geological features, including mountains and ancient lava flows. Studying Taurus-Littrow helps scientists understand the Moon's history and evolution, shedding light on both lunar and planetary processes.
