Shorty ist ein Krater auf dem Mond der Erde, er ist ein wahrscheinlich vulkanischer Krater im Taurus-Littrow-Tal. Die beiden Astronauten Eugene Cernan und Harrison Schmitt besuchten ihn 1972 im Zuge der Apollo-17-Mission. Es ist die Lage des berühmten orangen Bodens.

Apollo 17 orange soil.jpg
Close-up of the orange soil discovered on the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The color is caused by microscopic glass beads created by volcanic processes earlier in the Moon's history. This is NASA photo AS17-137-20986, File:Orange Soil Discovery - GPN-2000-001152.jpg.

Image taken during the Apollo 17 mission to the Moon, in the Taurus-Littrow region. The NASA description reads:
This photo was used in Figure 5-28 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:
The southern rim of Shorty Crater looking west. The sampled orange soil deposit is at the left center of the photograph near the large boulder. Note the heterogeneity of boulder and albedo distribution patterns. The crater is approximately 110 m in diameter.

AS17-137-20992 (12 Dec. 1972) --- A view looking into Shorty Crater, taken at Station 4, showing the orange soil. Astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt found the orange soil on the moon during the second Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. While astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, commander, and Schmitt, lunar module pilot, descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Challenger" to explore the Taurus-Littrow region of the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "America" in lunar orbit.
