| Description |
Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 122/QQ - Rendezvous, Lunar orbit. This photo is used in Figure 4-52 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption: The LM ascent stage over the Sea of Fertility. Before docking, the LM ascent stage maneuvered to permit complete inspection by the CMP. The distinctive Craters Messier and Messier A are near the right edge of this view westward across the Sea of Fertility. Extensive ray systems, bright crater walls, and bright halos stand out sharply because of the high Sun angle. Highlands separating the Seas of Tranquility and Nectar to the west of the Sea of Fertility form the irregular horizon beyond the LM. |
