Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 121/PP - Lunar orbit.<br>This photo is used in Figure 4-59 of the <i>Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report</i> (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:<br>Post-TEI view of the Moon. This Hasselblad EL photograph was exposed after the TEC trajectory had carried the CSM high above a point near the lunar equator at approximately 55° E longitude. Near-full-Moon illumination accentuates the difference in albedo and permits detailed examination of the extensive ray patterns associated with craters that are near or beyond the eastern limb when the Moon is viewed from the Earth.
