| Description |
Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 118/NN - Earth, Undocking, Moon. This photo is used in Figure 4-3 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption, with edits for clarity in italics: View eastward from Earth orbit across the coastal plain of Texas and Louisiana. The thin band of blue that separates Earth from the blackness of outer space along the gently curved horizon (lower left corner) graphically illustrates the limited nature of the Earth atmosphere. Coastal features from Freeport, Texas (left margin), to the Atchafalaya Bay south of Morgan City, Louisiana, are readily identified. Interstate Highway 10 extends from near the center of the top margin to Houston, near the center of the frame. Dense forests in northeast Texas, central Louisiana, and Mississippi make up the dark green area that dominates the lower right quarter of the frame. The Mississippi River flood plain crosses the forest as an irregular, light-colored band that roughly parallels the bottom margin. |
