Good morning, Rallypoint, and welcome to the January 17, 2026 edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). We jump in the way-back machine for this mosaic of the Apollo 14 landing site on our Moon. The two astronauts (Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell) spent over 9 hours on the lunar surface and returned 90+ pounds of samples back to waiting scientists on Earth. Where were you in February 1971?
