Description
Heavily cratered lunar terrain from high orbit seen from the Command Module window. The edge of the Lunar Module is visible to the left of the shot showing the skin of the spacecraft, the engine bells of the reaction control system. Despite the under exposed nature of the shot the last few seconds are very dramatic with long shadows accentuating the rugged terrain here on the far side of the Moon.
