Have you seen the photograph of Astronaut Charles Duke and his family that was left on the Moon in 1972? It is a small 3×5 color photo of Duke, his wife Dorothy and their two sons Charles and Thomas posing for a studio portrait. The image is wrapped in a resealable plastic bag and shows an ideal American family for the era; Duke is kneeling next to Dorothy as the boys stand in the foreground. It is evenly composed and everyone looks happy. On the back of the photo Duke left the message “This is the family of Astronaut Duke from Planet Earth. Landed on the Moon, April, 1972.”
