Summary

[edit]
Description

Apollo 8 Hasselblad image from film magazine 12/D - Lunar Orbit. This photo was used in Figure 2-9 of the Analysis of Apollo 8 Photography and Visual Observations (SP-201), which has the following caption:

Apollo 8 frame 2048-D of lunar far side.

The text of the Analysis refers to the figure as follows:

Figure 2-9 is an Apollo 8 photograph taken at 5° S, 153° W, near the sunset terminator at a Sun angle of 2°. This photograph shows numerous shallow depressions and swales that are not visible at higher Sun angles. Unfortunately, all well-exposed Apollo 8 vertical high-resolution terminator photography was taken of the highlands on the far side of the Moon. The astronauts described the mare surface very near the sunrise terminator as having undulations similar to the surface of the sea. It is important to determine if these slight undulations are no more than features similar to the shallow depressions and swales seen in figure 2-9, or if t here is some fundamental difference between the very gentle topography of the maria and highlands.
