EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a high altitude oblique view of the lunar surface, as seen from the Apollo 8 spacecraft in December 1968. Looking northeastward, this mesmerizing image showcases the rugged beauty of our celestial neighbor. The prominent feature in this photograph is the Joliot-Curie crater, located near the center of the left side. Its distinct shape and size make it easily recognizable amidst the lunar landscape. As we gaze further into this extraordinary scene, our eyes are drawn to a bright rayed crater near the horizon. Positioned at approximately 105 degrees east longitude and 45 degrees north latitude, its rays extend outward like long fingers reaching towards space. These narrow rays have been reported in Earth's polar region facing hemisphere as well. The texture captured in this square image is remarkable; every detail on the moon's exterior can be observed with clarity. This close-up view allows us to appreciate both the impact craters scattered across its surface and its overall moonscape. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a testament to humanity's exploration of outer space through missions like Apollo. It reminds us of our endless curiosity about what lies beyond our planet and inspires us to continue unraveling the mysteries that await us among distant stars.
