Summary

[edit]
Description

This is figure 3-55 of the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-289, 1972), which has the following caption:

View of the Moon taken after trans-earth injection. This photograph shows the northeast quarter of the lunar scene visible in the early portion of the transearth coast. Smyth's Sea, at the bottom, and Border Sea, just below the middle, have been observed by most of the Apollo crews; but only the Apollo 15 astronauts photographed this area with a low Sun angle. The large reseau cross at the center overlies a point near latitude 16° N, longitude 94.5° E. Fabry, the large crater near the horizon at the upper left corner, is centered near latitude 43° N, longitude 101° E.
