I don't know about pictures of events taking place halfway around the world!;))

However, the helicopter is a Eurocopter A-Star 350-B2, genuine Euro-technology and the last time (contrary to all the US reports) samples returned back from the Moon wasn't with Apollo 17, but Luna 24.
Besides, Mir had plates exposed to the sun and retrieved by cosmonauts, and the LDEF must have amassed Sun stuff too, so....
