| Description |
Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 118/NN - Earth, Undocking, Moon. This photo is used in Figure 4-4 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption: This spectacular view of North America was photographed approximately 1 hr 50 min after the TLI burn. The solid white area at the upper left is the north polar icecap and snow-covered terrain in Canada. A pronounced spiral cloud pattern covers the upper Ohio Valley, the eastern Great Lakes, and New England. The western Great Lakes are free of clouds, but western Lake Superior, northern Lake Michigan, and western Lake Huron are ice covered. Snow in the Sierra Nevada, the Cascade Range, the Rocky Mountains, and other mountain ranges combines with some clouds to conceal terrain at places in western Canada and in the northwestern United States. The Yucatan Peninsula and many of the islands bordering the Caribbean Sea are clearly visible, but most of Central and South America is obscured by clouds. |
