I spotted one thing and I wished to see if I were right - there is an American eagle (with a snake in its mouth?) standing on the surface of the moon on the screen to the far right. It may just be me, but it is indeed strange... It seems like as if all the overly-euthusiastic astronomers of the 17th-18th centuries were correct when they claimed that the moon's surface was home to many a strange creature. This is horribly overdue, but better late than never, right?

It was something Eugene Cernan spotted instantly that the rest of us hadn't, and involves one of the pictures on the screen. By Apollo 17 they had colour…I’ll give you a clue.
