Lara (Moon)

Astronaut-named feature, Apollo 17 site.

Lara is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in Taurus-Littrow valley. Astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt visited it in 1972, on the Apollo 17 mission, during EVA 2. Geology Station 3 of the mission is located on the northeast rim. Lara is located in the 'light mantle' which is almost certainly an avalanche deposit from the South Massif. (wikipedia entry)
