Description
View of the Apollo 16 Command Module Casper from the retreating Lunar Module Orion - with the lunar surface dramatically revealed behind. Close up detail of the LEM cabin is seen out of the window along with the polished surface of the Command Module and Service Modules, with their communications antenna protruding at the side. Note that the LEM is climbing into a higher orbit than the CM in order to slow down to make its descent to the surface of the Moon.
