Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 118/NN - Earth, Undocking, Moon.<br>This photo is used in Figure 4-5 of the <i>Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report</i> (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:<br>The LM before extraction from the SIVB stage. The CSM separated from the SIVB stage approximately 30 min after the TLI burn. This photograph was taken after the vehicle turned to permit examination of the LM before docking.  Abundant particles released from the vehicles during separation shine against the blackness of space. The top hatch, used for docking, is clearly visible in this photograph; but the docking target is partly in shadow.
