The shadow of the LM Falcon is in the foreground. On Apollo 15 the Lunar Rover enabled the first true scientific exploration of the Moon.

“When I look at the Moon I do not see a hostile, empty world. I see the radiant body where man has taken his first steps into a frontier that will never end.”
David Scott (National Geographic, September 1973, “What Is It Like to Walk on the Moon?”, p. 329)
