Astronaut John Young leaps from lunar surface to salute flag
AS (21 April 1972) --- Astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, leaps from the lunar surface as he salutes the United States flag at the Descartes landing site during the first Apollo 16 extravehicular activity (EVA). Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr. lunar module pilot, took this picture. The Lunar Module (LM) " Orion" is on the left. The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is parked beside the LM. The object behind Young (in the shade of the LM) is the Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph (FUC/S). Stone Mountain dominates the background in this lunar scene. While astronauts Young and Duke descended in the LM to explore the Descartes highlands landing site on the moon, astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) " Casper" in lunar orbit

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures the awe-inspiring moment when Astronaut John Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, leaps from the lunar surface to salute the United States flag at the Descartes landing site. Taken by his fellow astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr. , this image showcases Young's remarkable athleticism and patriotism as he defies gravity on our moon. In this extraordinary lunar scene, we can see the Lunar Module "Orion" stationed on the left side while the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) rests beside it. Behind Young, in the shade of the LM, is an intriguing object known as Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph (FUC/S). The backdrop of Stone Mountain adds a majestic touch to this historic moment. While Young and Duke embarked on their exploration of Descartes highlands in search of scientific discoveries, astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II remained aboard Command and Service Modules "Casper" in orbit around our celestial neighbor. This photograph serves as a testament to human achievement and determination during one of mankind's greatest adventures - space exploration. It reminds us that even in seemingly impossible situations, with courage and innovation, we can conquer new frontiers beyond our wildest dreams.
